Incense remains an important part of many cultures and spiritual practices around the world.







Incense, one of the oldest forms of aromatherapy, has been used in cultures around the world for millennia. Its history dates back to ancient civilizations such as Egyptian, Chinese, Indian, and Greek, where it was valued for its healing, spiritual, and ceremonial properties.

Incense is produced from aromatic resins of trees such as frankincense, myrrh, and copal. These resins are collected, dried, and then burned to release their characteristic fragrance. Additional ingredients, such as herbs, spices, and essential oils, are often blended with the resins to create unique and varied scents.

In many spiritual traditions, incense is used during religious ceremonies, purification rituals, and meditation. The smoke of incense is believed to purify the air and the soul, warding off negative energies and uplifting the spirit. Additionally, certain aromas are believed to have specific properties, such as sandalwood for calmness and inner peace, lavender for relaxation, and rosemary for mental clarity.

Today, incense remains popular worldwide, both for its fragrance and its ability to create a tranquil and serene atmosphere. It is available in a variety of forms, from cones and sticks to resins and loose powders, and comes in a wide range of scents to suit individual tastes. Whether for relaxation, meditation, or simply to enjoy its comforting aroma, incense continues to be an important part of many cultures and spiritual practices around the world.

  Why is it so important to disconnect from technology? Because, when we are behind a screen, we are giving up our freedom and allowing ourselves to be robotized. Essentially, we are making fools of ourselves. Industrialized countries claim we live in a democracy, but it’s all a lie. Governments and the media are controlled by internal organizations that dominate the entire system of a country, and we are heading toward the total control of a nation.
