Incense Making

The art of making incense brings us closer to the treasures of nature. It lets us enjoy our creativity and use of aromas that are present around us. Incense is made either for outdoor or indoor, for religious ceremonies or medicinal use.

There are two types of incense and hence the methods to make each one are different from the other. The Combustible Incense is difficult to make and easy to use. It is used when forming your mixture into cones or sticks by adding a binding material and a combustible material directly to the incense material. One end is lit and the flame is then fanned out. The non-Combustible Incense is made by adding soft raisins, balsam, or dry fruits and honey to form a pea-sized pellet. This Non-Combustible Incense is used by heating using charcoal, makko or mica.
