I landed here through the same process🤭🤭🤭

O

Thanks for your comment, I am currently only using store bought camphor as I am living in Canada, where there's no access to camphor plant or organic camphor...however I am also looking for the same, I will let you know when I find...

Did you make them?

Your right, do you know how to access pure camphor?

@@LivingwithNature This video shows how: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-G1zkD8QJvEE.html but I don't have camphor trees.

@@TheVedicWayChannel thank you! Thats my issue also 😅

Thank you!

Herbal

Its Ghee....clarified butter....

Yes it was

Ghee and rosewater are used as binders, camphor is used to increase the burning and no most people seem to like the smell of camphor

Yes depends what ingredient but you can also skip vetiver

@@LivingwithNature thanks for your guidance

@@LivingwithNature can i use dried rose petals instead of vetiver.

@@rajendraprasadsinha831 yes u can

That is how it is done normally, but my recipe cannot be handrolled

Hi kirti, thank you but the background music is from "seethayin raman" (siya ke ram). I have played it on keyboard and recorded it.

Thanks dr

Hi Banita, I'm not a health expert, so I can't fully comment on that... some of these items may be allergic or not suitable for certain health conditions.... however most of the ingredient used here are traditionally used items except for cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, licorice root and ghee, which were my additions.. so if you're concerned about a certain item, you can avoid it...hope it helps

Ghee (clarified butter)

Yes u can skip those. If you havw any issues with the stick breaking then you can add more of licorice root or anything that has the fiber texture ( maybe some dried flowers which have a natural scent). Nutmeg is not necessary, only optional.

@@LivingwithNature .dried flowers means which type flower...... What is licorice root

@@anupmallick81 roses, and lavender are some type of flowers you can dry as they have scents and are good for health

@@anupmallick81 you can try Google images of licorice root

@@anupmallick81 assuming you are a Bengali, Licorice root is called Josthi Modhu in Bangla.

Just the ingredients themselves and their proportions

Depends.. which items?

licorice root and vetiver are the items that are unavailable in my house and the rest of the items are available .

Yes those are fine to skip... white mustard and the neem leaves are important for getting a stable stick that won't break apart. You can add sandalwood powder also and please comment back on how it turns out 🙂

i am going to add Frankincense to it

@@LivingwithNature thank you

Try and dry indoors and away from sunlight because the heat from the sun will evaporate the scent from the sticks. I left it to dry indoors until I didnt feel any moisture on the sticks. When you burn it, if it burns completely that means it's dried enough. You can store in a closed container or package.

@@LivingwithNature thank you so much for your response

Its around 30 mins

Rose water and Ghee (Clarified butter). You can use water instead of rosewater and any type of oil instead of ghee

It does not smell like the store bought artificially scented incence sticks, but it gives a rich smell. Herbal with a touch of scent which cannot be described by words because its a mixture of the essentials of all ingredients. But I recommend you try it as I know you won't be disappointed! Especially after knowing that what you're breathing in is pure

Thank you. Did you buy the raw material from India? if so from where? In case some fragrance should be added, what ingredients you would recommend. God Bless you.

Thank you and no I live in Canada so I bought the ingredients from the Sri lankan stores here. If you want to increase the fragrance you can increase the amount of the following items: camphor, basil/ thulasi powder, tumeric. Other items to add that are not mentioned in this video are: sandalwood powder, dried lavender, dried "wild" rose petals as only some roses have a scent, dried evergreen leaves... there are many items like this but it would depend on where you live and if you have access to these. This video is mainly based on traditional ingredients for incence sticks which is greatly tied to religious beliefs. Each ingredient is believed to bring different types of positive energies into the house as per the hindu religion. However I do have plans to make another video which will be more focused on the fragnance with natural ingredients so stay tuned 😄

Hi Dr, im sorry I dont have the purposes of all the ingredients, but will want to find out, please follow me on Instagram and if I find the info, I will share there

Depends where you live, most can be found in the grocery store. Which item are you looking for specifically

Tamil: paaku vetti English: nut cracker In Sri lanka we use this tool to crack the areca nut which is paaku in tamil

@@LivingwithNature oh thank u so much for ur reply

Maybe it's not dried completely

Yes that is good, its not easily accessible for me here, thats why I didnt use it

@@LivingwithNature thanks i Will tell You How it goes

Why would people use manure? I understand that it's traditional in some Indian incense, but doesn't it smell bad?

@@wendydee3007 ..when is dry becomes antiséptic and doesnt smell bad

@@jjafad That's good :o) but what are the benefits of using it? I know about Agnihotra rituals where they burn cow manure... is this a similar thing?

Yes

I found "Dhoob" in google

Dried dooba ghaas often used for ganpati Puja
