Stick incense is probably the most common form. The gum or resin from which it is made coats a long thin stick that burns slowly, releasing the particular fragrance that it contains. The stick type can also be solid so there is no stick center or core, only a solid chunk of material.
Incense generally gets its fragrance from aromatic plants and essential oils that arenât in themselves dangerous. That changes when burning is involved. Some incense sticks, like joss sticks, are made from a fragrant material. Other sticks consist of a slender piece of bamboo or wood that has fragrance added. Mosquito coils, available in supermarkets and hardware stores, are forms of incense with an insecticide added. Related: Ban These 7 Allergens from Your Home.
