What are incense sticks for? Indian incense - types and classification

The ancient science of aromatherapy has knowledge of how aromas affect the human condition: psychological and physical. During excavations of ancient civilizations, it is not for nothing that vessels for incense were found - incense was valued by the Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks as gold and as spices.

And in the Middle Ages, when the plague decimated people indiscriminately, it was effectively combated by fumigating the air. Aromatic pine fires were lit throughout the city, producing acrid smoke. Any of the aromatic plants known at that time were used against the plague, because these were the best antiseptics available at that time.

Modern civilization has given us daily exposure to fumes and chemicals, and the modern lifestyle has given us stress and haste along with lack of exercise and poor diet. As a result, we also get ailments, obesity, accumulation of toxic substances in the body, and a real possibility of developing severe chronic diseases.

Aromatherapy makes it possible to slow down this process. Aromas are quickly introduced into the circulatory system, improving blood circulation, normalizing the human condition and balancing the processes occurring in the body, thereby increasing resistance to harmful external influences.

There are many methods of using aromatherapy, but incense sticks are considered one of the most popular.

Incense sticks (incense) are inexpensive and very easy to use.

Harm of incense sticks

Not long ago, Danish scientists announced that they had established a connection between an increased risk of lung cancer and the constant use of incense sticks. It turns out that systematic long-term inhalation of incense almost doubles the risk of lung cancer.

And if you use incense irregularly, you can inhale it calmly: the likelihood of cancer does not increase.

The development of cancer is influenced by organic carcinogens contained in smoke: carbonyl compounds, benzene and polyaromatic hydrocarbons.

Indian incense

In their homeland, Indian incense sticks are smoked during temple festivals and meditations. The scented base is applied to a bamboo stick, which is then soaked in essential oil for several days, resulting in a double scent. It is thanks to this technology that Indian sticks have a distinct smell; they immediately fill the room with aroma.

The most popular essential oils in Indian sticks are sandalwood, patchouli (excites passion) and eucalyptus (helps with colds).

Indian incense is the most popular on the Russian market. Their packaging may be nondescript, but the quality of the oil is high, whether it is natural or synthetic.

Thai incense comes in brighter packaging, but is more expensive and of lower quality.

Nepalese incense

Nepalese incense sticks are baseless and consist of several minerals and herbs that are pressed for a long time. It is not necessary to burn them to the ground: only the tip is set on fire for about two minutes, after which the stick is extinguished. Nepalese sticks, consisting of pressed grass, have a rich, long-lasting aroma.

The most commonly used wood in Nepalese sticks is lotus, red and white sandalwood, pine and cedar.

The aroma of sandalwood helps with fear, anxiety, insomnia, calms the nerves, and also treats a severe runny nose and eliminates nausea.

Jasmine treats runny nose and asthmatic cough. Lavender stick eliminates insomnia and nervousness. Geranium incense calms and relieves fears.
Tibetan incense

These are the most sought after incense and occupy a special place in the tradition of aromatherapy.

The herbs for them are collected by hand in the Himalayas and at strictly defined times.

Tibetan incense sticks contain up to 40 components. The sticks are pressed, just like Nepalese ones. When burned, they gradually change their smell, but they are intended not only for aromatization. They are used in acupuncture for cauterizing points, and during massage, ground into powder and added to cream.
Chinese incense

These are most often baseless floral and sandalwood incense. They can also be in the form of thin spirals twisted in several circles. Burning clockwise, they create an “energy column,” as they say in China.

They can also be in the form of small baskets, boats, barrels.

How are aroma sticks used?

Smells play an important role in our lives. They can relax and excite, cause headaches and concentrate attention, lift our spirits and poison our lives. To properly use the power of odors, you need to know their properties.

Incense sticks are the most convenient type of incense to use. This popularity is ensured by convenience, ease of use and low cost. The base impregnated with aroma filler is applied to a wooden sliver. Typically the base is made from coal or masala (a mixture of fine dust or crushed plants).

Black incense sticks are made of charcoal. When burning, they smell only of aroma filler. And in brown and beige sticks, a masala base is used, whose smell will be mixed with the aroma when burned.

Pay attention to the quality of the filler. The smell of a synthetic fragrance is not as pleasant and beneficial as the smell of a natural one. Do not burn several sticks at the same time - they can have a completely opposite effect.

In order not to get drowsiness instead of the expected increased ability to work, you need to figure out what smells contribute to what.

Relax - jasmine, myrrh, rose, lotus, sandalwood.

The scent of jasmine relieves stress, and it also helps to mobilize hidden reserves. Enhances sensuality.

People burn incense sticks for many reasons - for relaxation, for religious purposes, or simply because they like the smell of incense. It is important to know how to use them correctly.

Steps

Part 1

Choosing chopsticks and incense burner

Consider purchasing incense sticks with a core. These sticks consist of a thin wooden rod (usually bamboo) coated (except for 2–3 centimeters at the bottom) with an aromatic substance. The aromatic substance can be either smooth and smooth, or grainy in appearance. The aroma produced during combustion is usually quite intense, consisting of the smell of the aromatic substance itself and the burning wood core.

Consider purchasing solid incense sticks. Such sticks consist entirely of aromatic substance and do not contain a core. They have a milder scent, so they are good to use in small spaces such as a bedroom or office. Since these sticks do not have a core, their aroma is uniform, without the smell of burning wood.

Find a suitable chopstick stand. These stands, also called incense burners, come in many different shapes and sizes. The type of stand you use will depend on what kind of sticks you use, with or without a core. You can purchase an incense burner that is suitable for the chopsticks you use, or you can make one yourself from available materials.

Consider making your own incense burner. You can make your own stand for sticks from clay, or use a cup with something crumbly and non-flammable in it. Here are some options:

Make a figurative incense burner from clay. Take a lump of natural self-hardening modeling clay and roll it out into a flat sheet. After this, cut it into the desired shape using a craft or dough knife. You can leave the cut out figure flat, or bend its edges, giving it the shape of a vase. Take an incense stick and stick it into the clay, making a hole in it. Remove the stick and wait for the clay to harden before using it as a coaster.
Make a censer from a bowl or cup. Take a container large enough to hold the ashes that fall from the burning incense stick. Fill it with grain, rice, salt or sand.

Light the tip of the incense stick. This can be done with a match or lighter. Bring the flame to the stick and wait until it lights up.

Let the stick burn for about 10 seconds. The flame will go out on its own. When this happens, look at the tip of the incense stick. If a glowing smoldering light is visible on it, the stick is burning properly. If the glow is not visible and the tip is covered with ash, you need to light the stick again.

Gently fan the fire. Fan the fire so that you can see a smoldering flame with a thin column of smoke rising from it; however, you should not see the flame. After about 30 seconds, you will feel the aroma coming from the stick. These signs indicate that the stick is burning correctly. If you do not see anything and the tip does not glow, having an ashy appearance, this means that the wand has completely gone out. In this case, light it again. This time, cover the tip with your palm, gently fanning the flame.

Place the incense stick in the holder. If you are using a cored stick, place the wooden tip, which is not coated with aromatics, in the holder. If you have a stick without a core, it does not matter which end you secure it in the holder. In most incense burners, the sticks are attached vertically or at a slight angle. If the stick is positioned at a slight angle, make sure the burning tip is positioned above the stand. If the top tip extends beyond the stand, cut the stick or place the incense burner on a wider fireproof stand.
- If you are using a bowl or cup of grain, rice, salt or sand as a stand, carefully insert the tip of the stick into the bulk material so that it stands on its own when you release it. You can insert the stick vertically or tilt it slightly. In the latter case, the top of the stick should not protrude beyond the stand so that the ashes from it fall onto the stand and not onto the table or floor.
Wait until the stick burns completely. Most incense sticks burn for 20-30 minutes, depending on the length and thickness.

Take precautions. As with other burning objects, do not leave a lit stick unattended. If you must be away, extinguish the wand by immersing the burning tip in water or pressing it against a fireproof surface. Place the incense burner on a heat-resistant surface, away from curtains, drapes, children and pets.

Part 3

When to and when not to burn incense sticks

Use incense during meditation. Their aroma will allow you not only to relax and escape from extraneous thoughts, but will also help you focus on the subject of meditation.

Use sticks as air fresheners. When burned, they emit a large amount of aromatic smoke that can refresh the air in the room. However, remember that their aroma only masks unpleasant odors, without destroying them; To completely eliminate these odors, you need to get rid of their source (garbage, dirty dishes, spoiled food, etc.).

When the question of purchasing incense arises before a person for the first time, it is not surprising that he comes to a dead end. The number of such products on today’s market is incredibly large, and it’s difficult to immediately figure out what’s what. At the same time, the meaning of incense is hidden in their various smells. Using a certain aroma, you can improve your psychological and physical health. Therefore, it is not surprising that the word “incense” has synonyms - “aroma”, “fragrance”, “spirit”, “smell”, “abmra”.

It should be noted that in the world there are several ways to classify them. The reason for this is the huge variety of varieties, in addition, a wide range of their uses. They are mainly classified by appearance, place of production, purpose and composition. Since ancient times, they have been a unique product of Thailand, India, Malaya and Ceylon.

First you need to pay close attention to their appearance. They come in different shapes: in the form of briquettes, mixtures, pyramids, sticks, oils. Also, when choosing, it is important to consider the method of burning incense - non-flammable and flammable methods. In this article we will learn what incense is and also consider its types.

Oil incense

They contain 2 components - a base that perfectly absorbs essential oils, and the oil itself or a unique composition of them. Oil incense comes in the following forms: sticks, string or plasticine.

Burnt incense

They mainly come in the form of sticks and cones: aromatic ingredients in powder form are mixed with flammable material. First, they set it on fire, then blow out the resulting fire, leaving the stick or cone to smolder. After this, the smell of incense begins to fill the room. This species is traditionally used in Southeast Asia, Japan and China. They usually contain aromatic wood, resins, essential oils and some types of spices.

Mixed oil incense

Mixed oil type? They contain an oiled coal base, as well as ghee, honey, manure and plant powder. The main component in them is considered to be essential oils, which have certain healing properties.

Dung and honey incense

Such incense is of particular interest because its production goes back to ancient times. They were used during the Ramayana period. Honey incense is distinguished by the fact that it has a sweetish, barely noticeable odor that accompanies the main aroma. They are used for aromatherapy, puja, and room aromatization.

Of course, you may doubt the need for dung incense. We have already found out what incense is, but how it can be produced from manure is still unclear. For us it seems like something unclean and foul-smelling. At the same time, our opinion about it is radically different from the meaning of the texts of ancient scriptures, which say that on its basis both the incense itself is produced, which, it is worth noting, does not smell like manure itself, as well as various medicinal preparations. They can only be distinguished by their rough appearance and the very thick smoke that is released when burned.

Camphor cardamom

Camphor or camphor cardamom is sometimes used as the main ingredient. Its disadvantage is that the quality of the incense is somewhat reduced, but the medicinal and aromatic properties remain much longer. Camphor incense is recommended to remove toxins and cleanse rooms of unfavorable energies and spirits. Moscow has a wide network of salons and stores that also sell camphor cardamom, so no one will have any difficulties purchasing them. Moreover, these incense also help prevent epidemic and respiratory diseases and have an immune-strengthening effect.

Herbal incense

Herbal incense, the synonyms of which we cited above, has calm aromas that are close to natural. It is recommended to use baseless incense as an effective soothing agent for aromatherapy.

Bamboo straw

Basically, bamboo straws are used as a basis for chopsticks. Subject to certain technologies, a thin layer of charcoal powder is applied to it, which is soaked in essential oils, honey, herbal extracts and other medicinal aromatic components, otherwise called “masala”. Such Indian incense is available and inexpensive.

They are used in different areas: when fumigating rooms to create a comfortable atmosphere, as well as to cleanse the energy space. It is also very interesting that such sticks are used in religious rituals and medical practice. You can even put them in the machine when washing clothes. In addition, some of them are effective moth repellents.

Baseless Incense

Bamboo is most often used as a base for making incense sticks. But there are also baseless incense. Sticks of this type are more fragile in structure, although when they burn, no admixture of burning bamboo is added to the main aroma, and this is considered a huge advantage. Among baseless incense, “plasticine” and “cones” are popular.

Cone-shaped

To date, the choice of incense has turned out to be very wide. Among such a huge variety you can also find cone-shaped baseless incense. The convenience of their use lies in the fact that during combustion the ash ends up in one place without crumbling. Their color range is very diverse. They come in a natural shade, which is inherent in the natural colors of the components they contain.

Sandalwood (cone-shaped) incense came to Europe in the Middle Ages, where it was highly valued and burned only on holidays. Cone-shaped incense is made by pressing aromatic herbs with the addition of a certain amount of resin from juniper, fir and some other plants (not surprisingly, the synonym for the word “incense” is “aroma”), as well as without binding additives.

It should be noted that they have the shape of a pyramid, and this is a huge advantage, since the smoke released during combustion has enormous energy. The method of using it is the same as for other incense.

Plasticine

Only natural ingredients are used as the basis: a mixture of ghee and honey, plant resin, special types of wax. It is also possible that the base will be chemical, although they are rare. Thanks to their convenient shape, they can be attached to any surface; in this case, there is no need for a stand. Due to their ability to emit a lot of smoke when smoldering, they are used by traders on the streets.

They are also applicable for temples and other large premises. In religious rituals they are most often presented to Kali and Shiva. No wonder the synonym for the word “incense” is “spirit”. It is very difficult to find “plasticine” on the shelves of Russian stores, because it has a very unique, interesting smell. They can only be purchased to order. In India, their homeland, there are about 30 types of such incense. The most popular is “plasticine” with a base of honey and ghee, which, when smoldering, emits a lot of corrosive smoke.

Lace

We have already found out what incense is. Now let's learn about their variety, which is called "lace". It is the next interesting form of incense. This is a skein of hemp rope, slowly smoldering, which is soaked in some fragrant essential oil. Here we cannot help but say that the smell it emits is extraordinary: a combination of burnt hemp rope with burnt mahogany or sandalwood.

In India, cord incense is in incredible demand among both traders and buyers, including at vegetable markets. Shoe shiners and street hairdressers are among the connoisseurs of this fragrance. At the present time in Russia, cord incense has not been able to find much use.

Powdered baseless incense

Powdered baseless incense is of great interest in aromatherapy. Their composition is exclusively natural, and the replacement of components with chemical ones will be obvious. Most of them are produced in Tibet, but in Rus' in ancient times the same incense was used to fumigate the sick. In addition, shamans use these herbal powders in their various rituals. Sometimes they are also used for puja. It is worth noting that with the passing of the ancient Greek, Babylonian and Egyptian civilizations, the tradition of burning such incense in temples also exhausted itself.

When choosing incense you need to rely on your taste. Most of them, especially Indian ones, have a very persistent aroma. You shouldn’t burn them all day long, 1-2 sticks will be enough, otherwise your sense of smell will be dulled and you will feel like there is no smell in the room, while the aroma will spread throughout the entire apartment. Otherwise, the pungent odor will cause headaches and nausea. You need to know moderation in everything, and in this case nothing will stop you from getting real pleasure from aromatherapy.

How to use incense sticks?

Incense sticks heal the body and soul - this is what they believe in the East. Aromatherapy relaxes, relieves stress and tension. It’s convenient that for a relaxation session you don’t need to buy an aroma lamp and essential oils - you just light the stick and inhale the aromas.

Is this always beneficial? Always, as long as you use incense correctly.

Choosing a scent

The aroma of sticks, like perfume, is individual. The effect depends on the correctness of its choice:

The aromas of lotus, sandalwood, and jasmine are great for relaxing after a working day. We recommend using them during constant mental or physical stress.
Rose scented incense sticks awaken sensuality. In the East, they often fumigate rooms before intimacy. Vanilla sticks are also considered an aphrodisiac.
The smell of lemon has a beneficial effect on the immune system. It is advisable to use such aroma sticks if you have frequent headaches and nausea.
Coniferous aromas kill germs and bacteria, invigorate, and improve your mood. They are used to prevent colds.
Lavender calms and calms. This aroma helps to cope with emotions and overcome stressful situations.
Lotus is one of the most effective scents in aromatherapy. It is useful for chronic fatigue, insomnia, stress, and the initial stages of depression.
