Incense has a very long history dating back to prehistoric times. Incense is burned to purify the air and eliminate bacteria, viruses, and odors. It is also an insect repellent, thus it is a disease preventative measure. Over the past few thousand years of practicing incense, the ingredients in incense have increased in variety, and the discovery and study of herbal effects upon the human body have deepened. Incenses now offer spiritual and mood enhancement formulas as well.
