Definition:An incense burner is a specially designed vessel used for the controlled burning of incense substances such as resins, herbs or dried plants. It is mainly used in ritual, spiritual or aromatherapy contexts to release fragrances that are intended to create a pleasant atmosphere or achieve certain effects.Structure and materials:Incense burners are made of fireproof materials such as ceramic, metal, glass or stone. They are designed to be heat-resistant and to hold the incense safely. Modern versions often have a tray for glowing charcoal or an integrated holder for incense cones and incense sticks.Function and use:The incense burner enables controlled combustion of the incense substances, whereby the heat source - usually glowing charcoal - releases the aromatic substances without completely burning the material. This leads to the creation of fragrant smoke, which is dispersed into the room air. Areas of application include religious ceremonies, meditation, aromatherapy, as well as room and air purification.Geschichte und kulturelle Bedeutung:Incense burners have a long tradition and are widespread in many cultures around the world. They can be found in ancient cultures in Egypt, India and China. The shape and design varies depending on the region and cultural context.
