Himalayan Khenpa, also known as Tibetan sage, is a traditional herb burned in sang offerings to purify the environment and dispel obstacles. In Tibetan homes, it’s often used when someone is suffering from a cold or flu, as its smoke is believed to carry healing properties. While Ganden Khenpa—the most sacred variety—remains unavailable due to ongoing shipping challenges, this high-quality Himalayan Khenpa from Nepal provides an effective and authentic substitute.
Symbolism & Meaning
Khenpa is associated with purification and the clearing of karmic and energetic obstacles. The Ganden Khenpa legend speaks to its sanctity, linking the herb to Lama Tsongkhapa and his blessing of the land during a time of illness. Burned with intention, Khenpa is believed to cleanse illness, negativity, and spiritual blockages.
