**Himalayan Cypress** (also commonly known in English as **Tibetan Juniper Powder** or **Shukpa Powder**)

It mainly comes from the Himalayan cedar/juniper tree (commonly called Tibetan cypress, or *Cupressus torulosa* / Himalayan cypress; in Tibetan contexts often referred to as juniper, *Juniperus* sp., or "Shukpa"). The tree is native to southern Tibet, India, Nepal, Bhutan, and other Himalayan regions. The powder is ground from the branches or leaves (needles/twigs) of the tree.

When lit, it releases a strong resinous pine-like scent or woody aromatic fragrance; it is considered a "yang" (masculine/positive) type of incense. The aroma is pure, fresh, and clean, with natural antibacterial and purifying properties.

It is widely used in Tibetan Buddhism for **sang** (煙祭 / smoke offerings / fumigation rituals), smoke offerings, and other ceremonies to make offerings to Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Dharma protectors (such as ḍākinīs and guardian deities). It helps purify the energy field (magnetic field/aura), remove obstacles, pray for blessings, and accumulate merit. When combined with **senba grass** (甚巴草, often mugwort or other ritual herbs), it enhances the obstacle-removing and cleansing effects.

Even a small amount burned produces smoke that can purify the air, relax the mind, stabilize emotions, and relieve stress.

Juniper/cypress forests are rich in negative oxygen ions (often called "air vitamins"), which can boost immunity and regulate the nervous system.

**How to use:**  
Burn a small amount in a well-ventilated space, or mix it with other incense materials. It is a key traditional ingredient in Tibetan incense making, symbolizing spiritual strength and enduring faith.
