"Incense burning is the process of letting aromatic substances, particularly those from the plant world, burn slowly over a heat source, such as a charcoal cone or candle. The resulting smoke drifts in the air, carrying the scent throughout the room. The smoke contains psychoactive, physical, and emotionally effective substances. Every ancient culture practiced incense burning, producing rich and unique knowledge." The preceding passage is from "The Complete Book of Incense" by Susanne Fischer-Rizzi. We at Ruby River wish to provide the freshest and finest incense products available and hope your experiences produce rich and unique knowledge.
