Nag Champa is an Indian scent that is most commonly found in incense or oil form. Although these are the most common forms, you may also find Nag Champa in soaps, perfumes and candles. In India, Nag Champa is burned in front of statues as offerings to the Gods for goodwill.

Nag Champa is created using a variety of exotic ingredients. Although the champa flower is the base there are other spices, oils, gums and resins (such as sandalwood) used to enhance the scent and hold the incense together.


You can burn Nag Champa resins, oils or incense for a variety of reasons. It is wonderful for use during times of contemplation, meditation and spiritual development. Because it contains Sandalwood, it makes the perfect smudging companion as it cleanses, purifies and sanctifies its surrounding areas.
