Question:
Any Doctors...is incense harmful to inhale?
I dont mean directly, but I bought some today, it claims to be of the finest ingredients. I just want to know if there is any harm in breathing in the scent to meditate.
It is called MONEY HOUSE BLESSING Incense INDIAN SPIRIT, there are four different kinds in it which are their renderings of obsession, giorgio, drakkar noir, and eternity. It says made in Thailand by E Davis International
Answers:
Those are not good quality incense. They make aerosol sprays too, which are just as unhealthy for you to inhale. You should get a refund on those products as soon as possible or simply throw the incense away.
If you are going to use incense, use the Fred Soll Resin on a Stick or imported Indian incense like Satya Sai Baba Nag Champa.
If smoke is really a concern for you, use essential oils in an oil burner. Just add a few drops of oil to some water in the tiny bowl, light the tea candle, and enjoy the scents.
Incense smoke in moderation is ok. Make sure you drink plenty of water after your meditation session to help flush your blood. Do deep breathing exercises to help your oxygenated blood do it's job too.
Peace & Blessings on your journeys!
