Incense - How to burn incense & resinsThe incenses are ground in a mortar from resins, woods, herbs and spices. They have nothing in them which burns on its own, hence the need for a self-burning charcoal.
First you need something safe to burn your incense in. The charcoals used to burn resins get very hot. Use a burner made for resin incense, with a metal screen or with sand or rocks to insulate from the heat. We often break the charcoals in half because they burn for nearly an hour. Light the charcoal with a lighter or match, and when it starts to spark, put it in the burner. lt is best to let the whole charcoal begin to glow before adding any incense. Then sprinkle on the incense as desired, a little bit at a time. lf you add too much or cover the charcoal completely, you might put out the charcoal. Also, most natural resin incenses smell better when burned in small amounts at a time. Keep away from kids and pets. Let the charcoal burn down completely, and make sure it's all ash before throwing out because it could set trash on fire. Ask us how we know! We don't clean the burner after every use. When there is a collection of ash in the burner, pour contents into strainer over the sink and rinse with water. Let dry, and put rocks back in burner. (If you use sand you'll just have to dump the whole mess and use fresh sand). Store unused charcoal in a zip-lock bag or in a jar, because they won't burn well if they collect humidity from the air.

About Essential Oil Diffusers:Heated Aromatherapy Diffusers
Heating an essential oil is necessary especially for the heavier, more resinous oils, such as frankincense, and myrrh, but it also works great for the citrus and grassy oils. A small minority of aromatherapy purists argue that heated essential oils don't have the same healing qualities. Himalayan Salt Lamp Aromatherapy Diffusers The Himalayan Salt Crystal Aroma Lamps offer the added benefit of negative ion generation. Each fills a 10' x 10' room with fragrance in minutes. As long as you keep it filled you can run it continuously. I keep one going in the inside stairwell of my home 24/7 because it also functions as a safety nightlight for when I'm on the stairs at night. When you want to change out the fragrance you just wash out the glass bowl with hot soapy water and then add your next oil. There is no water mist and no droplets of the oil to stain anything. Tea Light Aromatherapy Diffuser Heating a dish containing essential oils with a tea light is what we offer in our Feng Shui Aroma Lamps. Whatever oil you add needs to be mixed with at least 50% water. Comparatively, Tea light diffusers are simply not as efficient in controlling the temperature, because as the candle burns down the temperature will decrease. Controlling the temperature of the oil depends on finding the optimum distance between the flame and the glass holder. It is always a little tricky. Using an electrical bulb is better, because the heat is less and relatively constant. Never leave a candle unattended; tea light diffusers are not suitable if you want to diffuse scent in an unoccupied room. Light Bulb Aromatherapy Diffuser The light bulb ring diffuser is an easy and inexpensive way to use essential oils. Choose a favorite oil, place the ring on a low wattage bulb (for longer lasting aroma) and add the essential oil or essential oil blend of your choice. They are most often made of pottery and come in terracotta or white. While they are the most inexpensive they are also make the most mess. Excess oil can drip down the bulb into the light fixture. The more flammable citrus oils should never be used with larger and hotter light bulbs. Nebulizing Diffusers These diffusers pump air through a glass chamber filled with essential oils. They are driven by the same type of air pumps used in fish bowls. No matter how silent they are advertised, they tend to be noisy and vibrate. They can be okay around fish tanks, indoor waterfalls, or Jacuzzis where there is already noise. The glass is very fragile and in my opinion not suitable around kids and pets. The nebulizing diffuser uses no heat, and converts the essential oil into microscopic size droplets. However, due to the weight of these droplets, they don't tend to stay in the air for long periods of time. The small droplets of some of the essential oils can have a very harsh effect on lacquer finishes. The orange citrus and other dark oils will stain white or light colored drapes and bedding. Micro Fan Aromatherapy Diffusers with Cotton Filters A small fan blows air through a pad containing essential oils. Every model we tested where you put the essential oil on some type of pad dispersed by a fan tended to be messy. Eventually the cloth wicking material gets clogged. All the fans were noisy. Compared to the other types of aromatherapy diffusers, they put less scent into the room. Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffusers We found a couple that were both efficient room humidifiers and also did a decent job of dispersing some of the lighter oils like citrus, lavender, eucalyptus, etc. It also increases moisture in the room. In most cases that's fine, but not around fine wood furniture and most electronics. My favorite is made by Westinghouse. You can find it on-line for about $40. I would not try to use it on a room larger than 400 square feet. It has an 8.5 ounce reservoir that will run up to 16 hours. Humidifiers These are probably still the most popular and least expensive. I bought a humidifier for $15 at Walmart which is relatively quiet and puts a lot of moisture into the room. However, the plastic is not designed to hold up to Eucalyptus and other essential oils. Vaporizers Vaporizer or vapouriser is a device used to extract and deliver via inhalation the active ingredients of plant material. You can still find the old glass vaporizers that were sold to dispense Vicks Vapor Rub. They work well with unguents (mixtures of essential oil in carriers of petroleum jelly or beeswax). They don't disperse pure essential oils as well as the new Ultrasonic or our Himalayan Salt Aromatherapy diffusers. Source: www.alohabay.com/products/aromatherapy/aromatherapy_diffusers.html |
