There are plenty of places that you can go to find various incense scents that will be pleasing to your senses. While the sticks or the cone form may be the most readily available and most popular the best type is the incense resin. These look like colorful little rocks or crystals that are sold in bags of various flavors.
Incense resin generally comes from Indonesia or Peru or various other parts of the world where this sort of thing is more of a tradition. Here in the United States it something that we have sort of picked up from other cultures. Americans have a tendency to do that and that is why we are such a so-called "melting pot". We like to take things from various cultures and make them our own.
As they are a more pure and traditional way to produce a smoked scent the resins are from the old world and are generally imported into the United States from Peru or Indonesia and other places in that part of the globe. They have been used for thousands of years for more reasons than just making a pleasant aroma.
In the past and even the present they are used for spiritual cleansing and healing. They have been used by various people from all cultures to bless homes and other places and have even been used to treat people of afflictions and sickness. People have associated the smells with that of healing powers and sometimes gods or spirits.
Because of this they have been around for a very long time and are steeped in tradition. Today they are still used for the same reasons by people who like to carry on the old traditions but they are also used for more simple reasons as well. Sometimes people just want a nice smell permeating through their home and this is the best way to get it.
Sure, you can get a smell through an open area using the sticks or cones as well, but with the resins you will get a deeper scent and a smell that lasts a long while after that of the sticks has gone. These are what people who really know what they are doing use and especially because there are more scents available using these types.
They are used by placing a burning charcoal disk into a ceramic bowl or just a metal on sitting on a ceramic plate. The use of these items does create a lot of heat and that heat can be transferred into whatever it is sitting on top of so safety is always a concern. Once the charcoal is burning it is time for the next step in the process.
Once the glow is present, you can place it into the ceramic bowl carefully and you are ready for the incense resin. Just place a couple rocks or pebbles of the resin on top of the disk and in a couple moments it will start to melt and release the pleasant aroma that you have been waiting for.
