What’s New in Our Spiritual Collection? Introducing Kuengacholing Herbal Incense

Bhutan, known as 'Menjong' or the Land of Medicinal Herbs, is renowned for its rich botanical diversity, providing some of the finest raw ingredients for incense. Rooted in Buddhist tradition, Kuengacholing Herbal Incense produces a sacred aroma believed to sanctify spaces and invite divine presence. Burning this incense offers many benefits—from elevating the senses and calming the mind, to purifying and making meaningful connections.

Established in the 1980s, Kuengacholing is one of Bhutan’s largest herbal incense manufacturers, recognized for using only plant-based organic ingredients. Guided by Buddhist values and compassion, the company employs a workforce that is 95% women.

Founded by Lopon Tharpola—a teacher and passionate incense maker—in a small cottage near his home, the company benefits from his deep devotion, including blessings and rare purifying ingredients received from His Holiness Chabjey Dodrup Rinpoche.

Every batch is produced to rigorous standards and sanctified by a spiritual master. Kuengacholing incense is cherished both in Bhutan and abroad, exported to around nine countries across Asia, Europe, and North America. All raw materials are carefully sourced from Bhutan’s pure, pristine environments.
