Ethereal Serenity

"A whisper of ancient mountains carried on the wind – purity distilled into fragrance."

Product Essence:
Steeped in centuries of tradition, Qingyuan Incense ("Clear and Distant") is meticulously crafted from nine botanicals recorded in The Compendium of Incense (Xiang Sheng): Spikenard, Lysimachia, Hierochloe odorata, Cypress, Scrophularia, Dalbergia, Patchouli, Cyperus rotundus, and Angelica dahurica. This sophisticated blend embodies the Chinese philosophical ideal of qingyuan – a fragrance that is both luminously pure and enduringly profound, designed for moments demanding clarity and presence.

Holistic Benefits:
☯ Zen Harmony
Spikenard and cypress create a meditative base note clinically shown to lower cortisol levels by 23% (Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2021), while Dalbergia's resinous sweetness promotes alpha brain waves for focused relaxation.

☯ Seasonal Rebalance
Patchouli and lysimachia work synergistically to combat shi qi (dampness) – addressing summer lethargy and brain fog through aromatic phytochemistry that stimulates the spleen meridian.

☯ Space Sanctification
Traditional "space-clearing" ingredients like hierochloe (holy grass) and Dalbergia release antimicrobial β-caryophyllene when burned, purifying air with 68% bacterial reduction (TCM Materia Medica Research).

☯ Cognitive Elevation
The graduated scent profile – from angelica's citrus top notes to scrophularia's earthy depth – creates an optimal olfactory environment for sustained mental flow states.

Herbal Wisdom:
Contains TCM-regulated xuan shen (scrophularia) for blood nourishment and bai zhi (angelica) for meridian warming.

Safety Note:
Not for use during pregnancy. Contains potential allergens: sesquiterpenes (spikenard), coumarins (hierochloe). Always burn in ventilated spaces.
