Our Aparjitha Dhoopa stick when burned has the same fragrance one would associate with a yagna and homa, perhaps due to the use of similar materials. There is no cloying, synthetic or over sweet fragrance. But the air feels clearer and much better than before when it is done

Herbal fumigation using plant resins and herbs is a traditional Ayurvedic practice documented across all our texts. It has been suggested in childcare, for the sick, in hospitals and also at home to cleanse the air. Today we only use agarbattis and Dhupa in a limited manner during poojas and holy rituals. Fumigation was even used to deliver medicines in breathing disorders, to bring down certain fevers and of course to cleanse and purify the air. Fumigation was also suggested to purify bed linen and clothing among babies, the elderly and patients who are vulnerable to disease.
