Many people lit incense for therapeutic purposes. Depending on the chosen scent, incense can set the mood of the persons inhaling its aroma. The fragrance from incense dispersed throughout one’s home can soothe the senses after a busy day or perk up a rather dull and dreary afternoon.

These days, most incense lovers choose to light incense sticks in incense bottles. Here, the lighted end of the incense is contained inside the bottle. The bottle is designed with a ventilation hole where the aroma can escape while the ashes remain inside the bottle. This makes for less mess to clean up after.
