Fundamentals of Incense Sticks

Incense sticks are slender aromatic products made from natural agarwood powder blended with plant-based adhesives. When burned, they release fragrant smoke with calming and air-purifying properties. Premium incense sticks should exhibit a natural brown hue, produce fine white ash, and maintain consistent burning speed.

Four-Step Proper Usage Guide

1. Environment Preparation

Choose a ventilated area without strong drafts, using dedicated incense holders or burners. Recommended to ventilate the room for 10 minutes beforehand to avoid odor interference with the agarwood's natural fragrance.

2. Professional Lighting Technique

Use a windproof lighter at a 45-degree angle to ignite the tip. Gently shake to extinguish flames after ignition, retaining a red ember. Never blow out directly to avoid saliva contamination.

3. Proper Fragrance Appreciation

Place burning incense 30-50cm from nose, gently fanning smoke toward face. First-time users should limit sessions to 15 minutes to prevent olfactory fatigue.

4. Safe Extinguishing Procedure

Tap ash into dedicated containers. Remaining segments can be left in holders for natural extinguishing. Never use water to avoid moisture damage affecting future use.

Three Common Usage Mistakes

Mistake 1: Pursuing Thick Smoke - Quality incense produces subtle smoke; excessive smoke indicates chemical additives;Mistake 2: Over-burning - Recommended to burn only 1/3 segment per session to prevent fragrance overload;Mistake 3: Improper Storage - Requires airtight, light-proof containers with 45%-55% humidity control.
