This exquisite incense is crafted from the balsamic resin tree sap of the Styrax Benzoin tree, indigenous to the lush landscapes of Sumatra, Indonesia.

With a robust aromatic profile, Black Jawi is celebrated for its ability to purify spaces, infusing them with positive, loving, and healing energy.

In India, it takes on the name "sambrani" or "sambraani," serving not only as an incense but also as a time-honored solution for hair care. Following the bath of a newborn, the gentle exposure to sambraani smoke swiftly dries the baby's hair, warding off cold and pneumonia-related ailments associated with damp hair.
