After initial creation, it requires complete air-drying and cellaring for a period, hence the longer production time. If in stock, items will ship within 2 days. If out of stock, shipping will take 5-10 days depending on weather conditions. **> Motif** Butterfly: Symbolizing freedom and beauty. Breaking out of a cocoon is a form of sublimation, representing success. **> Efficacy** The focus of He Xiang is to emulate natural aromas. Therefore, do not attempt to analyze the efficacy of each ingredient in the formula as if it were traditional Chinese medicine; this is unnecessary. The active components of the incense materials are absorbed by the body through essential oils. From a perfumery perspective, woody fragrances typically help regulate qi and soothe the spirit, while herbal fragrances can aid in detoxification and relieve pent-up emotions. When combined, they naturally create wellness effects such as joy and relaxation, calmness of the mind and spirit, or enhanced circulation and vitality. **> Introduction** The culture of incense is an integral part of traditional Chinese culture. He Xiang, known in ancient times as Leng Ning Xiang (cold condensed incense), is made by harmoniously blending fragrant materials found in nature—such as **floral, woody, resinous, fruity, and mineral scents—which possess health benefits, according to ancient recipes and proportions.** He Xiang is an incense with the most oriental charm: it is subtle, profound, lingering, and possesses a strong sense of mystery. Ancient people believed that "incense is born from the convergence of pure yang elements of heaven and earth." Wearing incense is said to **clear the mind, nourish health, relieve stress, perfume the body, stabilize life, and gather yang energy to ward off yin and evil.** Purely handmade He Xiang incense pieces, with their intricate processes, understated elegance, and artistic flair, not only perfume the body and nourish health when worn but also add a touch of refined temperament to your presence. The constant body temperature allows the aroma to subtly ebb and flow, entering the body, wafting into the nose, seeming present yet absent, gently stirring the heartstrings. **> Notes** This incense is handcrafted using ancient recipes. It has been meticulously polished before shipping. Simply wear and handle it normally. It will release its herbal fragrance while absorbing your body's natural scent, thus cultivating a unique aroma that nourishes your body and mind. Time will also bestow upon it a more beautiful luster. Although the various woody and herbal ingredients have been finely ground and hammered thousands of times, traces of plant fibers and handmade imperfections may still exist. Ambient temperature and humidity can also cause slight shrinkage or changes in the appearance of the incense, but these do not affect its wearability or aromatic properties. **> Care** **Regular wear and handling are the best methods of preservation.** The incense should not come into contact with water. Avoid smoky environments and contact with sweat, perfume, etc., to prevent cross-contamination of scents. If it accidentally gets wet, gently pat it dry with a paper towel and then air dry it in the sun. As the incense contains no chemical additives, it is susceptible to damage. There is a possibility of mold developing during the rainy season. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry, fire-safe environment. https://cn.pinkoi.com/store/ghfdesign Discover the brand and custom design gallery of Gu Huafly Graphic Design Studio!
