Select a Suitable Holder:
Choose a heat-resistant incense holder or burner. This can be a simple dish or a purpose-built incense holder with a hole or groove to secure the incense stick.
Prepare the Area:
Place the incense holder on a stable surface away from flammable materials. Ensure proper ventilation in the room by opening windows or doors.
Light the Incense Stick:
Hold the incense stick at the uncoated end and light the coated end with a match or lighter. Allow the flame to burn for a few seconds, and then gently blow it out, leaving a glowing ember.
Place in Holder:
Insert the unlit end of the incense stick into the holder, ensuring it stands securely. If the holder has a hole or groove, place the unlit end into that space.
Enjoy the Fragrance:
Once the incense stick is properly lit and secured in the holder, it will start to release fragrant smoke. Allow the smoke to waft into the air, creating a tranquil and aromatic atmosphere.
Extinguish Safely:
To extinguish the incense stick, gently tap the lit end into a fireproof container or the holder. Ensure that the ember is completely out before leaving the area.
Safety Tips:
Never Leave Unattended:
Always stay present when incense is burning. Never leave burning incense unattended.
Keep Away from Flammable Materials:
Ensure that the burning incense is placed away from curtains, papers, and other flammable items.
Use in Well-Ventilated Areas:
Burn incense in well-ventilated areas to avoid excessive smoke buildup.
Burn on Heat-Resistant Surfaces:
Place the incense holder on a heat-resistant surface to prevent damage to furniture.
Caution with Children and Pets:
Keep burning incense out of reach of children and pets.
Mind Smoke Alarms:
Be mindful of smoke detectors. Excessive smoke could trigger alarms, so avoid placing incense directly under them.
By following these instructions and safety tips, you can enjoy the soothing and aromatic experience of burning incense sticks while ensuring a safe environment.
