Incense sticks, also known as agarbatti, are slender cylindrical objects made from a blend of aromatic materials that are designed to release fragrant smoke when burned. These sticks have been used for centuries in various cultures and spiritual practices for their captivating scents, which are believed to enhance meditation, relaxation, and rituals.
Typically, incense sticks are made by rolling a thin bamboo stick into a mixture of natural ingredients, including aromatic resins, woods, herbs, spices, and essential oils. This mixture is carefully chosen to create a distinct and pleasant aroma when ignited. The ingredients are often chosen based on their cultural and traditional significance, as well as their therapeutic properties.
