Incense Scents & Their Uses

Incense Scents & Their Uses

Incense burning is a holistic way of improving your health and wellbeing. Scents have a profound psychological effect, so your choice of incense should be based on the mood you wish to create. Some possible choices for incense include:

Sandalwood is one of the most popular scents for incense. It is used for meditation because of its calming effect, but it is also great for producing a tranquil atmosphere.

Aloeswood is recommended for meditation only. It is said that the inhalation of aloeswood is equivalent to a half-hour session of meditation. Expensive and quite hard to find, this type of incense can also be found in some blends.

Patchouli is a popular incense. It is extensively used in the perfume industry (especially in fragrances for men). It is said to have aphrodisiac properties. Patchouli incense is recommended for lifting the mood and relieving tension or anxiety. An added bonus is that it has also been used historically as a mosquito repellant.

Lavender incense has a calming effect. Aromatherapists use lavender oils and essences to help relieve headaches, tension, and other stress-related conditions.

Rose is a romantic, soothing fragrance. Caution should be used when selecting a rose incense. Several cheap imitations of rose incense sticks are available that are made from synthetic ingredients. Aromatherapists and purists always recommend only selecting pure, natural ingredients for best results.

Lemon, orange, and other citrus scents are great energy boosters. As with rose and other fragrances, try to choose incense that uses essential, and not synthetic ingredients.

Cinnamon incense has a sweet and spicy odour. In addition to raising energy levels and alleviating depression, it is believed to be a magnet for power and passion.

Vanilla is a pleasant scent that promotes relaxation and calms the mind. It is very useful during meditation as it improves mental focus, relieves stress and eases muscle tension.

There are quite a few interesting DIY Incense videos on youtube. I have saved a few for reference as I think I would enjoy hand crafting my own incense cones or sticks.

Have a look and see how neat it is!

We burn lots of incense here. Japanese stuff is my fave at the moment.

I did have a thread about making canna incense on here, but shit happens.

If you want to make canna incense it's real easy.



I followed that dude's method and it was good.
Needs a good torch to get it going though.

Makko powder, canna and water are the base ingredients.

Don;t be tempted to make the cones too fat or big. Short and thin burn well.

I have a jar of makko still, I may try another batch soon. :running-around:

The top one was £1.29. :lol:

Here's my stash at the moment. Think £3.50 for 50, not cheap but there was a discount and I got a free box. Only need to burn a couple a day to fight the smell of flatulence in the house, very light burning sticks, not much smoke really.

The cones are nice in the garden on a sunny day too.
