InsenceIncense Incense has been around for millennia, and has been used as far back as 2000 years in China, though it is a widely held view, that it might have originated from Egypt. Incense is a natural substance, that when burnt releases a fragrant smoke. Most of use associate incense with hippies (though there is, of course, nothing wrong at all with being a hippie) or with chanting or similar things. And incense has, in fact, been used widely in spiritual activities, such as meditation, yoga and relaxation. Incense has been used for a long time in religious ceremonies too, and you might remember the smell from your childhood, being taken to church. These days it has increased in popularity largely due to the rapid growth in the “relaxation” sector, and is widely used in holistic treatments, such as for instance aromatherapy. Incense is made from natural plants and herbs, which are often combined with essential oils. Most incense, especially the high quality incense comes from Tibet, Japan, India and China, though you will also be able to find French, English and American incense. It comes either in stick form or as a cone or a coil, and there is a wide selection of different types of burners to go with your incense for you to choose from. The variety of scents and fragrances is huge and it really depends, what you are using your incense for. If you are after the perfect al fresco dinner you might want to look into outdoor and garden incense, which will keep the insects away from your food and drinks, whilst relaxing you at the same time. Choose citronella, thyme or rosemary for the best effect. For indoor use there are exciting scents, such as cinnamon or clove, as well as luxurious and very relaxing ones, like Patchouli, sandalwood, cedar, jasmine or Ylang Ylang to name but a few. Start looking for the best fragrance for you to unwind enjoying a relaxing bath, to meditate to or to simply chill out on your sofa with a drink in your hand. Incense can create a perfect atmosphere or ambience to support your spiritual activities – meditating or doing a yoga session with the right kind of incense fragrance can enhance the experience, deepen relaxation and help you to rid yourself off the daily stresses in your life.
