Incense has played a major role in Chinese religious life for countless centuries. It is said the rising smoke from an incense offering links the Heavenly and human realms. Taoists have long believed this act of offering itself pleases the Gods. Incense, however, also has more direct benefit for those who incorporate its use into their daily routines.
Some incense can have a physiological affect on people.
Asian doctors have long prescribed particular herbal incenses for various medical reasons. The internalized, ritual act of lighting incense can also have a significant psychological affect on people. Whatever your desired result, there are few such simple activities which can bring so much pleasure to Taoists, cultivators, and meditators. All rights reserved under U.S. and international law.
