The Origins of Tibetan Incense Tibetan incense, with its mysterious and ancient fragrance, dates back to the 7th century during the Tubo Dynasty. King Songtsen Gampo, a devout Buddhist, commissioned his minister, Thonmi Sambhota, to create a special incense based on Tibetan medicine. This incense was designed to honor two Buddha statues brought from China and Nepal. Over time, Tibetan incense spread across the snowy plateau and became an important treasure for Buddhist worship, spiritual purification, and health. In 2008, the art of Tibetan incense-making was officially recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage of China, and this ancient craft remains an iconic representation of Tibetan culture. The History of Damora Tibetan Incense In 1671, the first generation of Damora Tibetan Incense was created by Desi Sangye Gyatso, a Tibetan leader who deeply understood Buddhist teachings and Tibetan medicine. He skillfully blended traditional incense-making with Tibetan herbal medicine, introducing various precious herbs like: Nutmeg: Strengthens the heart and calms the mind. Bamboo Pith: Clears the lungs. Clove: Nourishes the liver and relieves stress. Cardamom: Supports kidney health. Amomum: Aids digestion. These herbs, along with rare natural plants such as Ganden Kanpa, Hua Ma, and Zhiyang Ge (found at altitudes above 13,000 feet), are carefully processed to create the first Damora incense. For 19 generations, the art of Damora incense-making has been passed down, constantly refined and innovated. Today, Damora Tibetan Incense is used for physical healing, spiritual practice, environmental purification, and honoring ancient wisdom.
