Incense has been around for literally thousands of years and was used in ancient times for healing and sacred purposes. The aromas of different incense can produce distinct feelings or relieve stress. In the history of Christianity, frankincense was a popular choice for ceremonies and was considered very valuable incense. Today, many households both religious and non-religious burn incense as a way to create a peaceful atmosphere and heighten the senses. One of the best ways to fully enjoy the aroma is with an incense burner box, which is normally used for Tibetan incense since the incense has no sticks in the middle, but can also be used with other types of incense as well.
There are several varieties of incense burners from small to very large. The incense burner box is normally made of wood and has carvings within the box. They are quite attractive and literally can accent any decor. Massage therapists often use incense in their practice, as a way to relax the client and bring them to a place that is stress-free. Most people that receive massages often enjoy the various incense spices, smells, and remark that it does in fact lower their stress level. The incense burner box is used for both home use and in businesses such as massage and some health food stores use them to create a specific environment.
Smells are very powerful and different spices bring about different feelings and can cause relaxation or other feelings. For example, sandalwood or lavender can help a person to sleep better at night simply from smelling the incense as it burns in an incense burner box. When there is high stress in the home, burning patchouli can lessen stress, anxiety, and brighten the mood. When you want to create a sense of family or are having a family gathering, the nag champa incense works very well because it has a spicy yet sweet aroma, this along with sandalwood can also bring about a sense of being grounded and whole.
Different incense smells bring about emotions and can help relax the mind and help the body sleep. In the same vein, you must have a very nice incense burner box or another kind of incense burners in order to burn the incense safely. The idea of the incense box is to simply light the incense, then place it along the small bars metal inside and then close the lid, the incense then seeps out of the carved holes in the wooden box.
Clearly, burning incense can create an atmosphere and good feelings and when it is burned in an incense burner box, it makes it safer and releases the incense aroma over the course of an hour or longer, depending on the type of incense you have in the box. Choose a variety of high quality incense varieties to create all sorts of moods and feelings in your own home. Incense is not particularly expensive and the incense sticks last a long time.
