Zukoh (Rubbing incense) is a finely ground powder made from the same ingredients as incense: Cinnamon, Cassia, Clove, Sandalwood, Borneol Camphor, Star Anise, etc. Buddhist monks have used it for centuries for purification before ceremonies, preparing meals, or even touching another person. It has its origins in ancient India where hygiene and spreading germs was a major concern. This wonderfully fragrant incense powder is rubbed into your hands for cleansing and purification.
