A Guide to Incense Sticks and Holders

When you burn incense, you typically use an incense stick and an incense holder to do so. The stick burns at one end while the other end rests in the base, or holder, of the stand as it burns. The purpose of this article is to explain what these two things are, what they’re made of, and how they’re used.

 

The Many Benefits of Incense

Incense sticks are traditionally used as a part of spiritual practice, but you don’t have to be religious to enjoy the benefits of incense. In fact, many people use incense for the pleasant, relaxing scent that fills the air. There are different types of incense, so you can pick one that smells more like what you’re in the mood for – floral, woody or spicy.

Additionally, some people use incense in their home as an alternative to candles or other sources of light while they’re reading or watching TV at night – because it doesn’t create any soot like candles do. You can also use incense as decoration in your home by putting it on a holder or letting it sit in a bowl on your table.

 

The Different Types of Incense

There are many different types of incense, which can make it difficult to know what type you want. Here are the most popular types:

Incense sticks – these are typically cone-shaped, with a pre-determined amount of time  that they’ll burn for. The most common type is jasmine, because it has a subtle scent that’s not overwhelming. There are also sticks that will release their fragrance once lit, as well as those with more distinct scents like patchouli or sandalwood. Incense holders – these come in a variety of sizes and shapes, but they’re primarily intended for use with incense sticks.

 

How to Choose the Right Incense for You

Choosing the right incense for you depends on a variety of factors, including what you’re looking for in an incense. For example, do you want one that gives off a strong scent? If so, try Nag Champa. Or are you interested in something with calming properties? If so, try Peaceful Mind. Whatever your needs may be, it’s easy to find the right incense for you with just a few clicks.

 

Tips for Burning Incense

– Light the tip of the incense stick with a match or lighter until it starts to smoke.

– Carefully place the incense stick in an appropriate holder.

– Allow it to burn for at least 15 minutes before blowing it out, as this will keep it from becoming too smoky.

– If you want your room to smell like more than one scent, buy multiple sticks of different scents and light them all at once.
