Sri Sumedha Natural Loban – Loban Dhoop – Sambrani – Large Benzoin Crystals

• Benzoin resin, known as Sambrani in English, is a dried tree resin used in powder or block form.
• Ayurveda recommends the use of Sambrani, as it has calming properties and creates a feeling of serenity, making the user better prepared for prayer.
• This resin has a unique scent that is different from that of incense sticks. It often brings back fond memories and is associated with peace and joy.
• Women used to burn Sambrani after washing their hair. Placing a straw basket above it would dry it quickly and leave a pleasant aroma in the hair.
• Sambrani is also used after bathing infants.
• The resin is lit during religious ceremonies and rituals.
• It is common to burn Sambrani every Friday morning and bring it into each room of the home—both to cleanse the space and to ward off mosquitoes.
