Incense Incense Incense
Incense is composed of aromatic plant materials, often combined with essential oils.[5] The forms taken by incense have changed with advances in technology, differences in the underlying culture, and diversity in the reasons for burning it.[6] The two main types can generally be separated into "indirect burning" and "direct burning". Indirect burning incense, also called "non-combustible incense", requires a separate heat source since it is not capable of burning itself. Direct burning incense, also called "combustible incense", is lit directly by a flame and then fanned out, the glowing ember on the incense will smoulder and release fragrance. Examples of direct burning incense are incense sticks (joss sticks) and cones or pyramids.

Types
Incense is available in various forms and degrees of processing. They can generally be separated into "direct burning" and "indirect burning" types depending on use. Preference for one form or another varies with culture, tradition, and personal taste. Although the production of direct and indirect burning incense are both blended to produce a pleasant smell when burned, the two differ in their composition due to the former's requirement for even, stable, and sustained burning.

Use of Incense
Incense, being an article familiar to humanity since the dawn of civilization, has meant different things to the different peoples who have come to use it. Given the wide diversity of such peoples and their practices, it would be impossible to form an all-inclusive list of the ways in which incense has come to be used, since the methods and purposes of employment are as diverse and nuanced as those who have employed it.
