Incense, a fragrance for your well-being


We can use scents to trigger specific responses. For example, to promote our relaxation, help us fall asleep more effectively, improve concentration, stimulate creativity, increase motivation or increase sexual desire.


Incense also involves a whole series of religious, aesthetic or practical reasons, although each of us can use it as we see fit.


The attributes and uses of incense are very varied. Learn more about its benefits or even which fragrance suits you best according to the occasion and purpose.


Purify the air in your home with revitalizing fragrances

The air in our home can be polluted with bacteria. That's why it's important to have plants, responsible for cleaning the air. If you also add purifying incense, you can maintain your health in a longer and more stable way inside your home.


For example, there are certain floral-based ingredients in incense that have antibacterial properties.


In addition, incense is an easy, quick and accessible way to cover unwanted household odors, such as those coming from cooking, pets, wet clothes, etc...


The most beneficial scents to purify the air in your home are those of Hindu incense that have fragrances of cedar, myrrh or citrus. These scents will clean the air in your home, leaving a scent full of freshness.


3, 2, 1... This

is the plan we have for you: light some incense, lie down on the sofa with a cup of tea, a book and the relaxing music of your choice. Prepare a bubble bath, dim candlelight, and an incense stick. Soft fragrances will further enhance this time of rest and relaxation, allowing you to disconnect from the discomforts of everyday life.


In this case, we recommend light and subtle fragrances, such as sandalwood, a calming fragrance ideal for entering states of absolute relaxation.


To

reduce

anxiety, we also need to reduce bodily activities, such as those that involve rapid heart rate and breathing. To this, we must add a mental cleansing where you can put aside your worries. To facilitate this path of peace of mind, it is advisable to use Hindu incense or Japanese incense with soft fragrances. One of the best is sandalwood, although it is also highly recommended to use frankincense scented with lavender or rosemary.

Incense

is widely used in many spiritual practices, whether to deepen mindfulness, increase the senses, or elevate one's spirit. Traditionally, the passage of time of meditations was also measured by burning incense sticks of a certain length.


Regarding fragrances, lotus is the most often used for meditation, as it helps transport you to the place where you need to be, without taking over your thoughts.


As

an alternative to taking medications, non-pharmacological methods of increasing brain serotonin can be very effective, such as, of course, frankincense.


The effect of pleasant aromas generated from incense sticks has been shown to increase serotonin in the brain. And not only does this improve mood, but it does so without leading to side effects or addiction dangers.


As you may already know, serotonin is considered a natural mood stabilizer and helps with sleep, eating, and digesting. It is also helpful in reducing depression, regulating anxiety, and reducing headaches. In short, serotonin helps you and frankincense makes it flow.


The smell of rose is at the top of our list of recommendations to generate this medicinal effect in you.


Frankincense

is and has been, for thousands of years, a tool of daily use in many religions of the world: Hinduism, Buddhism and even Christianity.


It is said that burning incense can act as a gateway to spirituality. So if you want to connect with other ways of understanding reality, we recommend that you use this ancient element.


In addition, Hindu incense is said to attract good karma. So, even if it's informally, we invite you to take an incense stick and light it as an offering to nature. A simple way to do something, with no expectation of return. An act of generosity and liberation.

On the other hand, incense is also a good accompaniment to yoga, as it helps to focus the mind and prepare the body, creating the right aromatic atmosphere.


When engaging in this healthy activity, which can range from energetic to relaxing to meditative, surround yourself with scents that help you focus on yourself.


Japanese incense for your creativity and concentration


Aloe wood-based incense is known to have the ability to be able to improve our own abilities, stimulate ideas, and improve mental performance. Lemongrass, citrus aromas, geranium, and ylang-ylang can also produce the same effect.


In addition, burning aloe incense when you work or study can help you increase your concentration and avoid intrusive thoughts that throw us off balance.


The fragrances of Japanese incense have a subtle effect on the mind and body, making them perfect companions for working, studying, or participating in an activity that requires our full attention.


Fragrances such as jasmine, vanilla and rose are ideal for sniffing sensual moments, as the mind is something powerful that is easily activated by these aphrodisiac scents. Finally, experiment with the cinnamon scent to boost passion in the most intense moments.


Insomnia is a growing affliction, especially in our modern society, always so active, full of uninterrupted activities. That's why we recommend that you choose natural options to help you sleep better. Lavender and chamomile, for example, are ideal fragrances to achieve this goal.


Personal Growth with Incense Scents Scents

awaken significant responses in our brains. In addition, they can instantly remind us of past experiences, people we had disconnected from, or emotions we didn't know we had in store.


For this reason, incense fragrances are ideal for transporting us to places and memories with which to learn about ourselves and others.


Hindu Incense and Japanese Incense

India is the land of incense. Everywhere you go, whether it's homes, temples, or markets, you'll find Hindu incense burning, with aromas ranging from earthy and spicy to sweet and resinous, from traditional temple scents to hard-to-find varieties.


Hindu incense is usually an affordable, high-performance stick. When we buy it, it is important to make sure that it contains quality natural ingredients and, above all, that it does not include chemicals.


On the other hand, the burning of incense in Japan began during the 6th century with the introduction of Buddhism, which uses incense during rituals and ceremonies. Agarwood was imported to Japan from China via Korea. From that moment on, incense was an essential part of Japanese culture.


There are two main types of incense in Japan: small pieces of aromatic wood for flameless burning or direct-burning incense in the form of sticks or cones, formed from paste without the bamboo stick.


Traditionally, Japanese incense sticks were made from different types of aromatic wood. The unique aromas, ranging from bitter and sweet to salty and sour, are what sets Japanese incense sticks apart from others.


In general, the aromatic materials used to make incense are typically plant-based and can include a variety of resins, barks, seeds, roots, and flowers.


We recommend that you choose several incenses and experiment with them, depending on the situation you need to improve: increase your concentration, enhance your passion, or relax. Every moment has its ideal incense.
