The 7 Chakra Incense by Sagrada Madre is a curated set of seven natural incense varieties, each one tied to a specific chakra in the body's traditional energy map. You get sandalwood, lavender, copal, rosemary, palo santo, myrrh and roses — seven distinct botanicals, packed together so you can match the scent to whatever you're working on that day. Available as long-burn sticks or quick-hit smudge bombs.
One pack, seven chakras, seven scents
The 7 Chakra Incense set is Sagrada Madre's answer to the question "where do I start?" Instead of buying seven separate boxes, you get one of each: sandalwood for the crown, lavender for the third eye, copal for the throat, rosemary for the heart, palo santo for the solar plexus, myrrh for the sacral, and roses for the root. It's the same handmade Argentinian incense you'll find in their single-scent boxes — bound with natural resins, no synthetic fragrance oils, no charcoal dust filler.
If you've never worked with a full chakra set before, this is the one we'd put in your hand first. You don't need to commit to a kilo of palo santo to find out you actually prefer myrrh.
Sticks or smudge bombs — which to pick
| Format | Burn time | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sticks | ~50 minutes each | Longer sessions, scenting a room, background ambience while you work, meditate or sleep |
| Smudge bombs | 8–10 minutes each | Quick cleansing rituals, room-by-room work, when you don't want the scent hanging around all evening |
Sticks are the standard choice if you've used incense before. Smudge bombs are denser, more aromatic per minute, and burn out before you forget about them — handy if you tend to walk off and leave things smouldering.
What's in the seven chakra incense pack
Each of the seven scents lines up with a specific chakra in the traditional Indian energy system. You don't have to believe in any of it for the incense to smell wonderful — but if you do work with chakras, here's the map Sagrada Madre uses.
| Scent | Chakra | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Sandalwood | Crown | Warm, woody, grounding — the classic temple smell |
| Lavender | Third eye | Soft, floral, calming |
| Copal | Throat | Bright, resinous, slightly citrus — Central American tree resin |
| Rosemary | Heart | Herbaceous, green, fresh |
| Palo santo | Solar plexus | Sweet, lemony wood from South America |
| Myrrh | Sacral | Deep, earthy, slightly bitter resin |
| Roses | Root | Floral and warm — surprisingly grounding |
Why this set over a single-scent box
If you already know you love palo santo and only palo santo, buy the dedicated Palo Santo Incense Sticks box and don't overthink it. This set is for people who want range. Seven different botanicals means you can match your incense to your mood, your practice, or just whatever's in the air that day. Rosemary on Monday morning. Lavender on Sunday night. Copal when the flat needs a reset after company.
Sagrada Madre is an Argentinian collective that's been making this stuff by hand for decades — they source their palo santo from fallen branches (never cut wood), and their incense binds without bamboo cores or chemical accelerants. You can smell the difference within thirty seconds of lighting one. Cheap incense smells like burning glue under the perfume; this doesn't.
One honest limitation: because each scent is so distinct, you'll probably find two or three you love and one or two you're indifferent to. That's the trade-off with any sampler. We've yet to meet anyone who liked all seven equally.
How to use the 7 chakra incense
- Pick your scent — by chakra if you're working with intention, or just by what smells right.
- For sticks: light the tip, let the flame catch for 5–10 seconds, then gently blow it out. The ember should glow and release smoke.
- Place the stick in a proper incense holder that catches falling ash. Each stick burns for around 50 minutes.
- For smudge bombs: light the bomb on a heatproof dish or in a shell. Let it catch, blow out the flame, and let it smoulder. Burn time is 8–10 minutes per bomb.
- Open a window. Incense smoke is still smoke — ventilation matters, especially in small rooms. According to Healthline's review of incense and indoor air, prolonged exposure in unventilated spaces has been associated with respiratory and cardiovascular concerns, so don't burn six sticks at once in a sealed bedroom.
- Never leave a burning stick or bomb unattended. Keep away from curtains, paper, and curious cats.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of scent does the 7 Chakra set have?
It's seven different scents, not one blend. You get woody (sandalwood, palo santo), floral (lavender, roses), resinous (copal, myrrh), and herbal (rosemary) — burned one at a time, not mixed. Each box contains all seven varieties separately.
Do I need to follow the chakra system to use this?
No. The chakra pairings are a guide, not a rule. Plenty of customers buy this set purely because they want seven different natural scents in one pack and burn whatever suits the moment.
Are there side effects from burning incense?
Incense produces smoke and particulate matter. According to Healthline's overview of incense and indoor air, regular use in poorly ventilated spaces has been linked to respiratory irritation and other concerns. Burn in a ventilated room and don't overdo it.
What's the difference between sticks and smudge bombs?
Sticks burn for around 50 minutes and give a steady, lighter stream of smoke. Smudge bombs are denser cones that burn for 8–10 minutes with a stronger, more concentrated scent — better for quick cleansing rituals, less good for ambient background scenting.
Is this incense vegan and natural?
Yes. Sagrada Madre uses 100% natural botanical ingredients and natural resin binders — no synthetic fragrance oils, no bamboo core, no charcoal dust filler. Their palo santo is sourced from naturally fallen branches.
How many sticks or bombs come in a box?
The set contains seven units total — one of each scent. Sagrada Madre's single-scent boxes typically contain 8 sticks each, so this is a sampler format rather than a bulk pack. Buy the dedicated single-scent box if you've already found your favourite.
