Burning incense is an ancient art that has been practiced across the world for many thousands of years. Long before our ability to extract the essential oils from plants, burning the whole dried plant would have been the earliest form of aromatherapy.
Incense burning was common place in hospitals, places of worship and the home to promote health, clear the air, enhance meditation and spiritual practices, in celebration or remembrance or to cultivate a sense of protection and grounding.
Incense comes in many forms and our Smoke Cleansing Incense Blends combine a mixture of leaves, flowers, barks and resins, all of which we have grown or gathered gently from the land around us.
Our blends have been created to celebrate the energies of the beautiful plants within the blend and are best suited for use in rituals, for smoke cleansing and clearing and meditation practices. We do not add fragrance or essential oils to our blends and they are not intended solely for use as a fragrance enhancer.
We have had many questions about how to use our incense blends so we wanted to provide some more information in this post.
Our favourite way to burn our loose incense blends is using an incense burner with a mesh top so the herbs smoulder above a candle.
You can also add a pinch of loose incense to a charcoal disk in a burner for ceremonial use outdoors or in a well ventilated area
Alternatively, you do not need to burn the blend to enjoy the plant energies. You can carry your tin with you for a grounding tool that can be breathed in, to calm and relax you throughout the day.
