Tips to Choose the Right Incense Stick
Now that you know the profound impact of aromas on our mental and physical well-being, let’s understand the art of selecting the ideal incense stick. To assist you in this aromatic journey, here are some essential and practical tips to consider when choosing your next incense stick.
Tip 1: Choose Natural Incense Sticks only
For starters, look for the term ‘natural incense sticks’ on the packet before buying them. This ensures that incense sticks are made from natural materials and are suitable for health. One must ensure that the raw materials used to make the fragrance should be derived from pure organic extracts.
Avoid incense sticks containing essential oils, as they can produce carcinogenic smoke. Organic incense sticks, made from pure herbs, are the best as they burn clean and produce whiter smoke, which was called an ‘elegant cloud’ in ancient times.
Tip 2: Check the Smoke
Natural incense sticks burn longer than other incense forms, producing more smoke. Therefore, it is essential to differentiate between smoke and scent and choose a low-smoke incense stick for your house. Low-quality incense sticks can produce lots of smoke that would leave a horrible smell on curtains, sofas and bed sheets. It can also trigger health issues in infants, children and adults with a history of asthma and other respiratory conditions.
Tip 3: Eco-friendly and Recycled Materials
With so many brands of incense sticks available in the market, choosing the best one can seem challenging. The best incense sticks in India are made from 100% natural ingredients and do not contain any harsh chemicals.
In recent times, innovative methods have been adopted that use recycled raw materials to create safe, responsible and healthy incense sticks. One such example is incense sticks from flower waste which are made from flower waste collected from temples.
Tip 4: Have the Right Incense Holder
Understanding the importance of the right type of incense stick holder is important for those who regularly use incense sticks. The holder should hold the incense stick tightly, ensuring it does not fall during burning. It should also be able to collect the entire residue and prevent the ash from flying around the house.
