You may have heard the word “incense” before and wondered what it was. You might even know that its Latin meaning is to burn, but you might not be sure about what exactly incense is. Incense is a substance that's burned to produce a fragrant scent. In fact, the word “incense” is derived from the Latin word for “to burn.” There are two types of incense: incenses sticks and incenses cones. The most common type of stick incense used in today's world are made out of bamboo or wood chips coated with an aromatic resin-like frankincense, myrrh, benzoin or sandalwood; these resins give off a sweet, earthy scent. The other type of incense is the cone variety. These cones are usually made out of a mixture of plant resins and waxes mixed with essential oils to create scents like lavender or lemon grass.
There's not much information about how long people have been burning this stuff, but it has likely been around for centuries because frankincense trade routes date back at least as far as 2000 BC.[...]

Incense sticks are known to have many benefits, but what is the best way to use them? There are two popular ways: incense sticks and incense cones. Incense cones offer a more concentrated aroma than incense sticks because they're pressed together into one solid form, which means that it will be easier for you to experience their scents.
Incense Sticks
- The lower cost of this type of incense makes it perfect for those who want the smell without breaking the bank. This type of incense also offers a different kind or variety in scent than cones do, so there's something for everyone!
Cones
- These types of incenses come in either individual pieces (called coils) or in bulk form. If you want a stronger aroma to fill up an entire room, then these are the ideal choice for you!
Both
