Incense Coils

Incense is an aromatic material. This means it releases pleasing aromas when lit. Incense Coils are a type of incense made with coils and incense paste. They are often made with metal coils that are either soaked or lathered with the incense mixture and essence. 

Incense Coils have a flat base with several levels of coils. This can be anywhere from five to eight coils. They are not a very popular variant of Incense Burners.

In terms of popularity, they do not get as much recognition as incense cones or incense sticks. This is quite a shame because incense coils are a great and cost-effective incense type.

How Are Incense Coils Made?

Incense coils are made with incense paste. The base of incense contains roots from trees, the outermost layer of trees such as the bark, flowers, seeds, and resin. Resin is a compound found in trees.

Incense Coils is the compound that enables injury recovery in plants and trees. It is a white liquid substance that comes out from plants or trees when a part of it gets cut off. When exposed to air resin hardens and this is when we can use it to make incense.

Finally, we have the combustible base which can either be petroleum-based or charcoal-based. The combustible base is essential because it is what gives incense the flammable quality.

Once the incense paste is created, the coils are then immersed in the incense essence. This is how Incense Coils are made.

How to Burn Incense Coils

This is a step-by-step guide on how to safely burn.

1. The first thing to do is select a location. The best location would be one that is not in direct contact with the window. Your incense coils should not be opposite the wind flow. This will lead to the incense aroma going to waste. You want to make sure it is beside the airflow that goes Into your space or room not out the window.

2. Once you've selected your location you will find a flat and stable surface. This can be on the ground but it should not be too close to the window. This is to avoid smoke stains on the wall.
