Incense Types. Since antiquity incense has been used for creating aromatic, fragrant spaces both indoors and out with fine natural incense resins, woods and herbs. Incense has always been deeply intertwined with religious ceremonies, as well as the practice of medicine.
The first recorded use of incense was by the Egyptians during the Fifth Dynasty, 2345-2494 BC. Incense use in religious ritual was either further or simultaneously developed in China, and eventually transmitted to Korea, Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines. Incense holds an invaluable role in East Asian Buddhist ceremonies and rites as well as in those of Chinese Taoist and Japanese Shinto shrines.
