Aromatherapy is one of the best ways to not only create a soothing, relaxed ambiance but to also make your home or apartment smell like a dream come true. Incense burners work to create a fragrant smoke that’s potent enough to release a scented aroma when they burn, giving your space an instant fragrance that can last for hours. Aside from their aromatic and aesthetic appeal, they also serve a wide array of additional benefits, including functioning as an effective insect repellant, reducing odors after cooking (or in the bathroom), and used as a meditation or yoga sidekick. Incense has long been used for a wide range o spiritual purposes, accompanying many religious ceremonies, but it’s also linked with offering health benefits as well.
Incense is associated with stimulating brain function and lowering heart rate, it’s also a great way to help you relax and boost your mood after a long and stressful day.
