How to Use an Incense Fountain

A fountain of fragrant incense cascades like a waterfall, adding a calm, soothing scent to any room. This beautiful, eye-catching incense burner is ideal for enhancing Zen and Feng Shui décor ideas. Backflow incense burners also help to create a peaceful atmosphere for meditation, as they allow you to focus on your breathing and meditation without distraction.

To use a backflow incense burner, you’ll need special backflow incense cones. These incense cones have a hole in the top that allows the smoke to flow downward in a waterfall-like effect as it burns. These incense cones are available in a variety of fragrances, including classic aromas like sandalwood and lavender and unique flavors such as dragon’s blood.

Backflow incense burners can be purchased in a wide variety of unique designs, from natural-themed to more elaborate figurines. There are even incense fountains that resemble Buddha and dragons, making them a great choice for adding an exotic, spiritual touch to any room. If you’re shopping for a backflow incense burner, be sure to take into account the size of your space and personal preferences.

When you’re ready to start using your incense fountain, light one of the incense cones and let it burn until its ember glows orange or red. Then place it in the holder on your burner, and wait for the smoke to flow downward. You can also add some drops of your favorite essential oil to enhance the ambiance and fragrance. Be sure to follow all safety precautions when using your incense burner.

There are many different types of incense, and the preference for one type or another varies with culture and tradition. Most people, however, recognize incense as a substance that is used to scent the air or create a pleasant fragrance. Incense can be divided into two categories: direct-burning incense and indirect-burning incense. Direct-burning incense includes sticks, incense balls, and sachets. It can also be in the form of powdered or granulated incense or scented candles. Indirect-burning incense includes agarbatti and joss sticks. It can also be rolled into a stick or moulded into a shape, and it can be made from either raw incense materials or pre-made compounds.

Incense can be made from a variety of plant materials, and the process of burning it usually involves heating the material to high temperatures until it begins to smoke and smell. Traditionally, the process of incense making has been an art and an object of worship. Incense was a common feature of worship in ancient Egypt, India, and China. It was even offered by priests and monks before public services, in a special vessel called the perfuming pan.

Unlike direct-burning incense, indirect-burning incense does not require a flame to be lit. It instead relies on heat to release the scented chemicals, and it can be made from either raw or processed incense materials. Direct-burning incense is typically made from a paste that has been pressed into a stick or formed into a cone, and it can be scented with essential oils. Indirect-burning incense is often scented with agarbatti and joss sticks, but moxa tablets (powdered mugwort used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for moxibustion) and other ingredients can be used as well.
