What is incense?

A natural material that gives off fragrant smoke when burnt. Most are made of aromatic plant material and it's often combined with essential oils and natural resins to enhance the smell.  It has an incredibly rich history and has been an important feature in rituals and ceremonies across various cultures and religions for centuries.

What is it used for?

Incense plays an integral role in various religious and cultural ceremonies, particularly in Hinduism and Buddhism. Hindus use it as part of their daily prayer in the home and at the temple. Though enthusiasts may not use it in any formal ceremony, it still has connections with spirituality and a lot of people use it in contexts of mindfulness, meditation and yoga.

Others may use it simply because they like the aroma or to create a particular ambience in the home. People also use it as an alternative to air freshener or odour coverers to mask unpleasant or unwanted smells in the home.

Main Uses:

• Daily prayer in the home
• To disguise odours
• Relaxation and meditation
• Yogic practices
• Aesthetic appreciation of the fragrance

How is it made?

From a base of resins, herbs and woods, which add the fragrance. They are then combined with a binding agent such as gum or natural resin, and then a combustion agent is added such as charcoal or makko bark. Distilled water is added, then it is enhanced with further natural and perfumery oils and then pressed or moulded into sticks, pellets or cones.

To manufacture high-quality joss sticks and cones not only must the finest ingredients be used, but also the greatest care must be taken at each stage of the process. Much like making a cake, the ingredients must be prepared and treated properly to create the best product.
