Incense Sticks
Incense sticks (also known as joss sticks) are a common factor in the many and varied religious ceremonies performed worldwide. From Chinese temples to Indian Shrines, from holy sites to established Churches, the ritual burning of incense sticks has for centuries been an integral part of tradition.
Sticks are normally hand-rolled, using natural ingredients, wood powders, charcoal powder, perfume oils and/or essential oils. The resulting substance is then either formed into stick shapes or wrapped around bamboo wood sticks.
Japanese style incense, for instance, is usually bamboo-less, and the type sold for home use is generally lighter in fragrance and less smoky than say Indian incense.
Most of the popular incense sticks are made with bamboo, and the superior quality ones usually contain natural essential oils.
How to burn your incense sticks:
Always place in a suitable holder. There are many types available, from iconic little resin ones to ash catchers and jail boxes.
Place on a heat resistant surface and well away from flammable objects.
Light the tip of the stick and allow a flame to take hold.
Blow out the flame to leave a glowing ember.
Never leave a burning stick unattended.
Then simply enjoy the ambience created by your chosen fragrance.
