Uses of Incense
Creative and humorous ways to use your incense sticks
Add your own at the end of this page!

Through the years, we've discovered some pretty neat ways to get the very best out of your incense, cones and oils. We approached our wonderful customers for their ideas as well and came up with some interesting and useful info... See Testimonials - Why People Love Incense!

Restless sleep: Sandalwood, Frankincense, Night Queen and Lavender are excellent for restless sleepers or troubled sleep.  Often children who experience fearful thoughts or nightmares show great improvement if these fragrances are used in their room before they retire.  (One at a time). 

Stress: A few customers have reported how excellent Patchouli is in relieving stressful situations or moods around their home.  Patchouli as an incense or oil works on anger, anxiety, stress, depression & emotional instability, so use it anytime you have an unhappy child or feel particularly stressed yourself.

Lavender: Lavender is just amazing as it works on the emotional level as well.  It helps with anxiety, grief, negative attitudes, depression, exhaustion, insomnia, moodiness, phobias, and hysteria & is emotionally healing. 

Headaches: I use Lavender with my 9-year-old son when he has a headache or is over-tired.  I place just 2 drops of the oil on his pulse (under his wrist) accompanied by a (much-needed) hug and pop him into bed or make him comfortable on the floor with pillows and blankets and the headache usually goes within a very short time.

Calming: Burning Lavender incense can noticeably alter the energy levels in your home.  If there is too much excitable energy or anger present and you feel the need to calm the atmosphere down then Lavender is perfect.  It is a very ethereal fragrance and often you cannot detect it unless you enter the room from another area but it works a charm for inducing peaceful moods in your home. 

Loving mood: We have had many people comment on how they love our new Nag Champa.  It is brilliant for eliminating any bad odors because of it’s sweet, rich properties but mostly it seems to create a warm, loving mood and many people burn it for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries and large gatherings. 

Grounding yourself: Nag Champa is especially good for a ‘grounding’ effect as is Sandalwood, Patchouli, Oriental Sandalwood & Patchouli Musk.  If you’re feeling a little indecisive, unsure or have a large task looming, which you just can’t face, then either of these fragrances will help tremendously.

Celebrations: A friend of ours had her sons wedding recently and she chose Frankincense for it’s powerful uplifting scent.  She commented that everyone thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful scent wafting around and it kept a happy, good-humored atmosphere all day. 

Afternoon lifts: Frankincense, Night Queen & Amber are wonderful for an afternoon ‘lift’.  Instead of reaching for a coffee break to stimulate and get you going after lunch, burning any of these fragrances will give you the enthusiasm and energy to keep going. 

Concentration: A customer recently reported that he uses our incense for deep concentration, as he daily works with fine jewelry, which requires a lot of concentration, and he finds our incense provides the right mood for him to successfully concentrate & focus for long periods at a time. 

“I'm a jeweler and everyday I must go from the normal & macro world to my micro world under my loupe.  Spiritual Sky incense is the link for me to do that, it puts me into that space that allows me to focus and concentrate. Thank you so much for providing me with the vehicle that carries me to my work."  Jon

Inspiration: So many people comment how our incense gives them inspiration and hope.  Strawberry is wonderful for inspiration and upliftment; so are Blue Lotus, Karma Devaya, Sweet Musk, Patchouli Musk and Opium.

Meditation: Jasmine, being the Queen of all scents has the ability to provide confidence, creativity, happiness, reflection and self-awareness.  It is also wonderful for long-held guilt and if used with meditation it can help bring awareness and healing.

Earth healing: Our Gaia incense is excellent for people who work with the earth (gardening, environmental work etc); to nurture & support those skills necessary for the task.  Gaia is a beautiful earthy, rich scent to inspire earth-lovers around the world.

Freshen your home: Most incense-lovers burn incense in the morning, to set the mood and freshen the home after a night of closed windows, etc.  Also, after a meal, it relaxes and allows people to 'loosen-up' & 'lighten-up', 'unwind' and 'put your feet up' kind of feeling!  We all need that at times!

Pure relaxation: For sheer relaxation you just can’t beat incense, it has been used for centuries for that purpose, it alters the moods in your home to bring peaceful, tranquil, refreshing, uplifting & inspiring feelings.

Recently one of our customers shared this lovely quote about incense –

1) Incense burning opens the mind to divinity.
2) Incense burning cleanses the mind.
3) Incense burning clears the mind of worldly impurities.
4) Incense burning wakes up the mind.
5) Incense burning encourages the mind in solitude.
6) Incense burning affords the mind leisure when it is busy.
7) One cannot burn too much incense.
8) Yet, even a little incense is enough.
9) Age does not affect the efficacy of incense.
10) Habitual use of incense causes NO HARM.

Spiritual Sky Cones are a smaller version of incense, usually burning for approximately 15 minutes, however because of their shape, there is generally a lot more fragrance accompanying them.  I find they're excellent for small rooms, bathroom, laundry etc. when I want a shorter burning time; they're just perfect for that.

"Scenting Slimness"
  The perfume diet may be the next big thing after researchers found that men think women weigh more if they smell of pizza.
  A 10-year United States study has found that pleasant, floral-spice perfume makes women appear 5kg lighter in the eyes of the opposite sex.
  Other odors, including butterscotch, cigarette smoke, grapefruit & pepperoni pizza, do not have the same effect.
  Chicago neurologist & psychiatrist Dr Alan Hirsch said the study was consistent with research showing smells can influence human behavior. NZ Herald
