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 term refers to the material itself, rather than to the aroma that it produces. Incense is used for a variety of purposes, including the ceremonies of religion, to overcome bad smells, repel insects, spirituality, aromatherapy, meditation, and for simple pleasure. Incense is composed of aromatic plant materials, often combined with essential oils. The forms taken by incense differ with the underlying culture, and have changed with advances in technology and increasing diversity in the reasons for burning it.
