Crafted from a blend of natural incense and herbal materials, this 8mm mala necklace features 108 beads, a sacred number in Buddhism symbolizing the removal of 108 human defilements. Each bead is made by combining traditional ingredients such as sandalwood, agarwood, clove, frankincense, and myrrh, ground into fine powder and bound with natural resin or honey. The mixture is hand-rolled into beads, air-dried, and polished to create a smooth, aromatic surface. Rich in cultural symbolism, these incense beads embody spiritual protection, mindfulness, and blessings. They are widely used in meditation, prayer, or daily wear to promote calmness, focus, and positive energy. The subtle fragrance released from the beads aids in stress relief, mental clarity, and repelling insects naturally. As a handmade product using raw materials, each bead varies slightly in color and texture, ensuring a unique piece. We carefully select high-quality beads with even shapes and rich aromas for shipment. Note that actual items may differ slightly from product images due to natural material variations. Usage Tips: Avoid prolonged exposure to water, heat, or direct sunlight to preserve fragrance and durability. Gently wipe with a dry cloth for cleaning. Over time, the surface scent may fade, but the core will continue to release a mild aroma.
