What Are Gulessence Nagchampa Dhoop Cones Made Of?

Ingredients: temple flower, loban, jatamasi, nagarmotha, sugandh kokila, haubera, natural herbs, and essential oils.

Recycled Temple Flower

Flowers offered during daily temple worship are collected instead of being discarded into rivers or landfills, then dried and processed into the dhoop base. This is the core material behind Gulessence's flower-recycling model.

Loban (Benzoin Resin)

Loban is a resin sourced from the Styrax tree, used for centuries in Indian temple and household fumigation practices for its dense, sweet smoke.

Jatamasi (Spikenard)

Jatamasi is an Himalayan root documented in classical Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita, where it is described under the category of medhya (mind-supporting) herbs. In dhoop-making, it is valued for its earthy, grounding note.

Nagarmotha (Cyperus Rotundus)

Nagarmotha is a root used in Ayurvedic formulations and traditional incense-making for its musky, woody aroma.

Sugandh Kokila

A bark-derived aromatic used in Indian perfumery and incense blending for its warm, slightly camphor-like scent.

Haubera

A traditional incense ingredient used to round out the fragrance profile and extend burn consistency.

Traditional and Documented Use of Nag Champa Ingredients

Nag Champa as a fragrance family originated from temple incense-making traditions in India, built around champa (frangipani) flower notes, sandalwood, and halmaddi resin blends. Several of the botanicals used in this formulation — jatamasi and nagarmotha in particular — are referenced in classical Ayurvedic texts as part of dhoop and havan preparations, primarily for their aromatic and traditional ritual significance rather than as clinically validated therapeutic agents. Gulessence does not claim medicinal or curative effects; ingredient information here reflects documented cultural and Ayurvedic usage.

How to Use Nagchampa Dhoop Cones

1. Hold a lit match to the tip of the dhoop cone until a flame appears.
2. Blow the flame out, leaving a glowing ember.
3. Place the cone on the included ceramic stand or a heatproof dish.
4. Allow it to burn undisturbed in a ventilated room for 35-40 minutes.

When to Use Nagchampa Dhoop Cones

Daily Puja and Havan

Used at the start or close of daily puja, in front of home mandirs, or alongside havan rituals.

Festivals

Commonly used during Navratri, Diwali, Karva Chauth, Griha Pravesh (housewarming), and other occasions where dhoop is lit as part of the ritual sequence.

Meditation and Yoga

Used as a background aromatic during meditation, pranayama, or yoga sessions.

Home and Workspace Fragrancing

Used in living rooms, entryways, and office spaces as a natural fragrance alternative to synthetic room sprays.

Nagchampa Dhoop Cones vs Dhoop Sticks vs Incense Sticks

• Dhoop cones (this product): no bamboo core, burn 35-40 minutes, denser smoke, placed on a stand or plate.
• Dhoop sticks: also bambooless, cylindrical shape, typically longer burn time.
• Incense sticks (agarbatti): built on a bamboo core, thinner smoke, shorter burn per stick.

Complete the Ritual Setup

• Brass Dhooni Stands — traditional stand for burning dhoop cones
• Organic Havan Cups — for daily havan alongside dhoop
• Dhoop Cone Combo Packs — bundle and save on multiple boxes
