Incenses
Here we collect products that are used through smoke – for example white sage, palo santo and incense sticks.
They are used in rooms, on objects or as part of personal routines and ceremonial contexts.
Shapes, scents and uses vary between products and traditions. We describe them as practical tools without defining a specific method.

How incense is used varies between different people and traditions. There is no right or wrong way to use it.
