The fragrance from incense sticks arouses the senses and creates various moods. Not only does your mind and body relax with the exotic aroma, it also creates a romantic environment, increases spiritual meditation, and makes the user energized. If the incense sticks you use are of good quality, their refreshing fragrance will last for many hours after they end.
Qualities of Good Sticks of Incense
The most important factor while selecting your incense is the quality and standard. Always select natural ones, with ingredients such as fragranced woods, resins, essential oils and herbs. Spring water or distilled water is used to make a thick paste with oils, powdered plant material and oils. When the water used is pure, the natural incense burns evenly and gives off the plant’s natural fragrance. High quality wooden sticks are dipped into the mixture and dried, after which they are ready to use. Never use blended incense that do not state the specific fragrance being used. Synthetic sticks have a synthetic fragrance that is not long-lasting.
