It inherits not only the incense formulas and ancient methods, but also that original spirit. **The integrity of the artisan lies in the heart, and extends beyond the form.** **A collector's grade, Harmonious Incense prayer beads, 108 beads.** Can be held in hand or worn around the neck, truly one of a kind. Newly acquired incense beads have a matte luster. After gently handling them for a period with a pure cotton cloth or gloves, they will achieve a pleasing luster and a lingering, elegant fragrance. **> Ancient Method Dragon Saliva Incense** Though named "Ancient Dragon Saliva," its scent bears little resemblance to actual ambergris. The main notes are sandalwood, rhubarb, scrophularia, clove, spikenard, frankincense, pear juice, and more, reconstructing an aged, deep, hazy, yet rich aroma. Hand-rubbed Harmonious Incense beads possess a more rustic, unpretentious quality. Their size and shape are not entirely uniform (please refrain from purchasing if this is a concern), but the fragrance is mellow, rich, and long-lasting, exuding a profound handmade charm. The more they are handled, the brighter and more lustrous they become. **> Craftsmanship** **Selection of Materials → Grinding into Powder → Blending into Incense → Steam Distillation → Kneading and Refining → Handmade Shaping → Air Drying and Cellar Aging → Fine Polishing → Stringing and Pairing** Each incense piece is meticulously crafted and polished entirely by hand. After initial production, it requires complete air drying and cellar aging for some time, making the production process lengthy. If in stock, delivery is within 2 days. If not in stock, delivery is within 5-10 days, depending on weather conditions. **> Benefits** The focus of Harmonious Incense is to emulate its aroma. Therefore, please do not analyze the ingredients in the formula as individual medicinal herbs. Their effectiveness is absorbed by the body through volatile oils. From a perfumery perspective, woody notes often help to regulate qi and soothe; herbaceous notes can aid in detoxification and relieve melancholy. The combination of the two naturally leads to a wellness effect, such as feelings of joy and comfort, tranquility and peace, or clarity and vitality. **> Introduction** Incense culture is an integral part of traditional Chinese culture. Harmonious Incense, known as "cold condensed incense" in ancient times, is made by blending aromatic materials found in nature – such as floral, woody, resinous, fruity, and mineral scents with health benefits – using traditional Chinese medicine principles. Ancient people believed that incense was born from "concentrating the pure yang essence of heaven and earth." Wearing incense items was thought to purify the mind, promote well-being, relieve stress, scent the body, bring peace, gather yang energy, and ward off yin evils. Pure handmade Harmonious Incense products, with their complex processes, possess a mellow aroma and long-lasting fragrance, suitable for direct smelling, wearing, and handling. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes gradual accumulation. As the wearer's contact time increases, the fragrance reveals its richness and variations. Each incense bead is hand-polished, adding a touch of elegant temperament when worn on the hand. After rubbing and handling, not only is the fragrance long-lasting, but the luster is also enchanting. Wrapped around the wrist or worn around the neck, the fleeting yet palpable aroma of the incense medicine seeps into the body, into the nostrils, subtle yet present, stirring the heart. **> Care** Avoid harsh damage; please pay attention to **moisture, water, and fire prevention during storage**. When not in use, store in a cool, dry environment. If accidentally exposed to water during use, gently blot away the moisture with a tissue and then dry it in the sun. As no preservatives are added, if it accidentally becomes damp and moldy, simply clean it with a brush, dry it, gently wipe it with a cotton cloth, and seal it for 2 to 3 days to restore it. ** In summary, frequent wearing and handling are the best methods of preservation.**
