Spring Dragon: Incense for the 2nd Qi of 2026

2 grams per tube: approx 20 min burn time per stick

Second Qi 2026 · March 20 – May 20

Second Qi marks the true outward stirring of spring. Sovereign Fire begins to move through Wind Wood. The body shifts from storage to expansion. Without regulation, heat rises prematurely and breath tightens.

This composition guides ascent through the hinge.

Sandalwood and weeping cypress provide a stable vertical spine. Frankincense serrata opens the chest. Mastic regulates the middle. Chinese herbs harmonize the pivot. Vetiver anchors the lower field. Bai Zhi declares upward clarity without scattering.
