Incense burning is widespread in many countries and has an ancient tradition. In the past, incense was used for ritual purposes. These include: the embalming of the body with fragrant incense for ceremonial church masses or for cleaning houses. During incense burning, various parts of plants, such as tree resins, are burnt, releasing the fragrances contained in the resin. Each fragrance has a positive or negative effect on people. We find the scents emanating from incense very pleasant and relaxing.
The composition of the various incense resins is recruited from a compilation of the most popular varieties. The very different fragrances range from sweet to spicy to bitter.
Where does the incense come into its own and where is it used?
The tradition of burning incense comes into its own mainly in the cold and dark season. Our ancestors used certain incenses with herbs or resins on all important occasions throughout the year.
These included personal occasions such as birthdays, annual national festivals, marriage or death. For this ritual, they sprinkled dried herbs and incense on a glowing coal and carried the fragrant smoke through the house or homestead. With this ceremony, people at the time believed that burning incense protected them from illness and evil demons. The most important days for the ceremony are Christmas Eve - New Year's Eve - and the night before the feast of the Three Kings.
What are the effects of incense burning?
There are differences between aromatherapy and incense burning. In aromatherapy, the essential oils evaporate, whereas in incense burning, the incense slowly smoulders. The fire acts as a kind of mediator in incense burning. Due to the fire, the coarse plant components are transformed into smoke.
This then transfers the essence of the plants to a subtle level. Via the mucous membranes in the nose, the active ingredients released from the plants travel virtually uncensored directly into the limbic system, the oldest part of our brain, which is responsible for processing instincts and emotions and controls vital functions such as hormone balance and stress behaviour.
