Joss sticks

Joss sticks, also known as incense sticks, are slender, rolled sticks made from a mixture of aromatic plant materials, essential oils, and a binding agent. When lit at one end, they produce fragrant smoke that is used in religious ceremonies, meditation, or to create a pleasant environment. The combustion process releases a slow-burning aroma that can vary from floral to spicy or woody, depending on the ingredients. Joss sticks are valued for their ability to promote relaxation, spiritual connection, or simply to add a soothing scent to a space.
