An incense stick is a slender, aromatic stick made from a mixture of herbs, spices, woods, and essential oils. It is typically lit at one end and allowed to smolder, releasing fragrant smoke into the air. Incense sticks are used for various purposes, including religious rituals, meditation, aromatherapy, and simply to create a pleasant ambiance. They come in a wide variety of scents and can be scented with floral, fruity, herbal, or spicy aromas.
