Tibetan joss stick making dates back more than 1,000 years. Making the sticks according to traditional methods involves collecting more than 100 different herbs, drying and grinding them, then mixing the paste. The mixture is then pressed into sticks, dried, and packed into boxes.
In 2008, the process was added to the country's intangible cultural heritage list.
