Description
The famous Greek physician Galen used the terms „hot“ and „cold“, „dry“ and „wet“ when he described the effects of the herbs. When there was the intention to restore the balance between yin and yang energy poles, it was neccesary to combine particular herbs which posessed yin or yang energy characteristics.
While making these handmade incense, we invoke our knowledge and intuition to create incense for balancing yin energy. Also, they are meant to help to calm down, relax, to feel playfulness, inspiration and, step by step, let the confidence, love, peace and harmony come into your heart.
