I love incense. I also found out that it's possible to love incense too much. Due to the unfortunate confluence of me getting covid and the flu in quick succession last fall/winter, allergies to vog, and my incense obsession, my lungs are screaming for a break. I can't even burn 1 stick without pain and coughing, so I need to take a serious break from burning incense (and making burnable incense sticks...cries) for the foreseeable future. So...is anyone out there up for a trade? I have the following combination of incenses I've purchased and made myself. I would be happy to trade any combination of these for any nerikoh, pellets, resins, pastilles--anything you can warm on an electric burner. I'll ship anywhere. Let me know if you're interested!

My own blend of makko, red cedar, copal negro, and tonka bean in joss sticks and leaf shapes
3 sticks of Persephenie's discontinued vetiver halmaddi agarbhattis--these are so flowery, delicious and sweet, like a floral pastry. She told me the artisans who make these for her in India have phased out production so get them while you can!
2 sticks of Esprit de la Nature's Four Sacred Plants joss sticks--these are GORGEOUS and I'm really sad to let them go. (Also, hi Bonnie! Nice to see you here!)

A near full pack of Yi-Xin Craft Incense's Devadaru: Timber of the Celestials--with Himalayan cedar, Vietnamese aloeswood, and hojari frankincense.
About 15-20 grams of loose Auspicious Powder Blend from Kangiiten
Nearly 100-120 sandalwood joss sticks of mysterious Chinese origin. My husband bought these for me last year from some random Chinese vendor on Amazon I can't seem to find again. As cheap as they are, they're actually quite nice, clean and sweet without any soapy or chemical overtones.
