The present invention relates to natural organic incense sticks made of cow dung which impart the health and spiritual benefits of using cow dung to the user when it is burnt. These hand made and machine made incense sticks mask the odour of the cow dung and spread pleasing fragrance in the surroundings. They give the user the spiritual benefit of doing yagya daily. These incense sticks are safe because when they are burned they do not emit harmful gases like carbon monoxide. Moreover cow dung when burned also acts as an insecticide and mosquitocide thereby providing health benefits to the user. The incense sticks of the present invention also burn longer and give pleasing fragrance.
