Why should you use incense sticks

Incense sticks have been an age-old practice in many cultures as a way to relax, cleanse, or bring good fortune. But many people don’t know that the art of using incense sticks has a scientific explanation. Incense, like all essential oils, contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The smoke from burning an incense stick releases these VOCs into the air, which interact with receptors in the brain to produce feelings of calm and well-being. Certain fragrances are more relaxing than others, so using incense sticks with scents like lavender, peppermint, and citrus can have a calming, soothing effect that can bring tranquility to your day.
