As a fragrance, it has positioned itself high on the world stage for its popularity for scenting rooms, aromatherapy, and meditation.
Back in the days of the "Hippie Dayz" when western people became interested in spiritual enlightenment, many of them travel to India where they found and embraced nag champa taking it with them so its popularity spread across the world. It retains its popularity today and many years later, it is one of the most appealing and popular incense fragrances. Popular belief is that nag champa scent creates a sacred space and enhances the meditative state.
Some people burn it simply for its unique fragrance, as aroma plays a very important part of people's lives. Aroma has the ability to lift our spirits, remind us of an event in the past and can have an effect on mood. We smell so many different smells each day some pleasant, some not so pleasant but smell is one sense that has the ability to change the way a person feels. We can be uplifted or calmed depending on the smell. Some scent is nostalgic, spring fresh sweet or mild musky Asian notes. Nag champa is a loving fragrance that will assist in keeping your spirit happy.
Nag Champa is an aromatic blend of gums, resins, flowers, spices, and oils with an exquisite aroma. This valued incense comes from the class of Indian incense, originating from the Champa flower. A native of Indonesia, India, and other neighboring countries, Champa is a large evergreen tree, which occurs naturally in the East Himalayas. The champa flowers are of interest being extraordinarily heady with fragrance although the flower itself just has a few narrow yellow/white petals. The night air filled with champa flower scent is heavenly. In fact, one of the world's most costly perfumes "Joy" uses champa flowers. Nag Champa incenses also contain Halmaddi which is a resin in semi-liquid form that is derived from the Ailanthus Malabarica native tree. This resin gives a grey color to the incense. Nag Champa contains a large amount of sandalwood and is unique as a fragrance starting with a strong smell that changes its character to a cooler sweeter smell as time goes on.
Nag Champa is available in many different forms including cones and incense sticks, perfume oil, incense candles, soap, personal toiletries and fragrance sachets.
A mix of nag champa with natural herbs is used in soap form and lotion form. The beautiful soap has many cosmetic and medicinal benefits, as it is anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, fungicidal, and antiseptic. The soap is known to aid the removal of stretch marks, scars, and firms up slack tissue to make skin wrinkle free. Lotions soothe and comfort the skin leaving it fragrant while enjoying the benefits of anti-aging and smoothness. Spa products made from nag champa are used in baths and showers and bring great benefits to mind, body, and soul. Nothing could be more delightful than a bath or shower using nag champa before retreating to a calm, serene space with the fragrance filling the air to aid total relaxation and sound sleep.
Aromatherapy uses Nag champa perfumed oils to help to day-to-day stresses of life and nag champa candles provide light and a refreshing sweet fragrance in the room where it is being burned.
