Burning insence

I like to burn insence. I find some of it relaxing. I’ve only ever burned the regular insence sticks. But I want to buy one of those bowls and actually buy the slightly more expensive stuff and burn it that way.

Does anyone else find it therapeutic or use it…

When I was in the sober house me and my roommate did the “4 corners” incense burning where you put incense in all four corners of the room. Story short, we set off the fire alarm and the fire engines came

I do not use it any longer, but when I was finding my feet when coming out of my last episode I used to… In states like that I find anything that contributes to a good mood to be of some help to me. So it is at those times that I eat more chocolate, drink the soothing teas and burn incense. A good mood is also a tool for coping. And it can be subject to subtle changes by such things. Placebo effects too, can be utilized.

My dad liked to burn incense, so the smell of incense brings back childhood memories.

I prefer scented candles to incense.

my mom burns incense, she usually burns after she and my brother smoke weed and want the house smelling better.

@turningthepage :joy: I’m afraid if I start burning in a bowl I will do the same thing and set off the fire alarm. Don’t think the neighbours would be pleased.

I do drink tea also or at night which is when i tend to burn I squeeze lemon in hot water with some honey or a bit of sugar. It could be placebo affect or maybe slightly mood altering either way winds me down.

@cbbrown a lot of incense I think is just basically exactly that …to make the place smell better. It is an ancient air freshener. But I think some types do have some relaxing qualities like sandalwood and sage.

I know but she only lights it after they smoke pot. it works better than the spray canned stuff

Ozium worked the best for weed smell but was pretty toxic
