It emanates a spiritual aura both within you and around your home. It is believed to help you clear your mind, calm your breath, and sleep better, so you can use it anywhere. Nag champa is preferred for its earthly connections. It is an Indian fragrance made from the sacred Champaca flower (also known as Frangipani) and sandalwood natural oils from India and Nepal. It forms the aromatic base for the incense. This aromatic concoction was combined with resin and clean sawdust before artisans hand-rolled the finest Nag Champa incense sticks.
