Bergamot improves attention and memory, gives strength and tones. Jasmine has a relaxing and anti-stress effect. Lemon has antiviral effect, relieves nausea, dizziness. Pine accelerates the rehabilitation process after diseases of the respiratory system, has an anti-inflammatory effect. Eucalyptus kills bacteria and purifies the air. Therefore, before using these or those incense sticks, familiarize yourself with their action.
Step 2
Together with incense sticks, purchase a special stand for them, ash will fall on it. The stand can be made of wood, glass or ceramic, the choice is yours. Insert the stick with its thin side into the hole on the stand and light the end with a match, place it in the middle of the room so that the fragrance spreads to all sides of the room.
Step 3
You can leave the door to the room open, then after a while a persistent, pleasant aroma will fill your entire home. It is recommended to burn incense in a large room in preparation for a long stay in this room or after guests leave. In a small space, place a lighted incense stick next to the window and open it slightly, excess smoke will come out.

Black incense sticks are made of charcoal, therefore, when they burn, they emit the smell of only the aroma filler. The beiges and browns use a masala base, the smell of which will mix with the scent as it burns.
