Incense: Burn Your Botanicals!
An five month aromatic adventure into the world of incense
Welcome to the most fragrant history lesson you'll ever take. This isn’t your grandma’s potpourri circle—this is a smoky deep dive into the ancient, mystical, medicinal, and occasionally weird world of incense. Step aside, drugstore incense sticks that smell like a gas station in a yoga outfit. We’re taking it back to the roots—literally.
This irreverent, nose-tingling course dives into the wild, weird, and wondrous history of incense: from ancient temples and desert caravans to modern-day herbal rebels. You’ll learn why our ancestors burned herbs in caves, why monks got high on frankincense, and how plant smoke can do more than set the vibe—it can clear microbes from the air, calm your nervous system, and open your lungs (and maybe your third eye, too).
What You'll Learn:
-
Roll your own incense cones like a metaphysical Cub Scout
-
Craft herbal smoking bundles without summoning eye-rolls from the ancestors
-
Blend resin-based sticks that would make a medieval mystic proud
-
Make modern twists on sacred smolders for your own rituals (or just your bath time)
This course is equal parts history lesson and hands-on crafting adventure. You’ll learn to make your own high-vibe, low-toxin incense—from cones and sticks to loose blends and smudge bundles—without any of the synthetic junk you’ll find in mass-produced brands. No mystery fragrances, no weird binders, and absolutely no side of asthma.
By the end, you won’t just know the difference between myrrh and makko—you’ll be the kind of person who can spark up a hand-rolled incense rope and say, “This? Oh, it’s just antibacterial aromatherapy, ancient-style.”
Course Highlights:
-
Explore the globe-trotting history of burning botanicals—from ancient Egypt to Himalayan mountain shrines.
-
Dive into the scents, ceremonies, and sticky substances that shaped spiritual (and olfactory) history.
-
Learn to craft your own incense blends with cultural context, ensuring appreciation over appropriation.
Let’s make some smoke and raise some eyebrows. Your lungs (and your living room) will thank you.

(Real) Ingredients
(Real) Ingredients
We use real pronounceable ingredients that are ethically sourced and high quality for your product.
We either grow or work with local growers to source for our formulas. This supports the local economy, gives us the most potent plants & reduces reliance upon fossil fuels.
We make products from herbs that will grow here over herbs from the Amazon, China, or Africa. Oftentimes, those trendy herbs are taken in an unsustainable way & local people do not have access to their native medicines any longer. Bioregional herbalism is where it's at!
Packaging
Packaging
We are working to eliminate plastic from our packaging. Currently, 99% of our packaging is metal, glass, or paperboard. We are always looking for ways to eliminate microplastics from your body and the planet!
How to Use
How to Use
Specifics for all products are in our FAQ (our FAQ is under the "about" menu at the top).
Herbal remedies, supplements, and tonics are fundamentally different
from pharmaceuticals (and we like it that way). They are designed to
restore your body and its systems to homeostasis gently- working with
your body.
We post basic dosage guidelines, but keep in mind if you have more body mass or a faster metabolism than the average bear, you may need to take a larger dose than indicated. If there are hard-and-fast limitations on how often you can take the product, it will be listed on the package. Most can be used up to six times daily without problems (but we doubt that you would need to do that).
Remember, there are no "magic bullets" in life, and any product (herbal, pharmaceutical, or otherwise) claiming 100% success without knowing you, your constitution, and your lifestyle is lying and trying to get into
your wallet. Often, herbalists (and MDs) need to try several products
before we find the one that works for your unique biochemistry.
Feel free to email us if the product didn't quite do the job, we can
recommend another that could do the trick. We are blessed with many
plants that have the same action in the body- and often it's just a
matter of finding the right one for you.
