What must one be aware of when burning incense?

The advantage of incense sticks is that they are very easy to use. The lower end is placed in a special plate or container made for the purpose. If none is to hand, then a potato, vase etc. will do. Whatever you use, be sure that the stick cannot fall over. A fireproof mat should also be used to rule out any potential fire risk. The incense stick is lit and after it has been burning for a few seconds, blown out. An incense stick should not be left burning; after being blown out it should glow until it has been used up.

If you have a negative reaction to incense, try a milder one next time – fortunately there is a wide selection of scents. You should remember to air the room well before and after using incense sticks.
