I love incense and I assume you do too as you read this article! We have talked a lot about the best incense to relax, to attract certain energies to our path and more, but how to extinguish incense?
Let’s find out together!
What is the best way to extinguish incense?
First of all, how should we use incense? The ideal would be to light them and let them burn completely, but in cases where it is necessary to extinguish the incense before it burns completely, there are a few things you should keep in mind.
How to do it correctly?
To extinguish an incense properly, the tip of the burning incense should be placed on a metal surface and pressed down, as if you were putting out a cigarette. Ashes don’t damage the resin, so don’t worry about that.

Never try to put the wand in water to extinguish them, as this renders the incense useless and when you try to light it again (even if it is dry) it could have lost its function or the aroma could have changed.
Avoid lighting incense next to materials that can burn easily, or leave incense burning when you leave the house unless it is a safe area. No matter how you feel at the moment, remember that it is always best to exercise caution.
Pay special attention when lighting incense to what is in the immediate area around you. Anything flammable should be kept away for safety reasons.

How to dispose of incense once it is extinguished?
Since I’ve been burning A LOT of incense lately, I wanted to make sure I was using its ashes correctly so I could enjoy some of its amazing benefits. While researching, I discovered that one of the ancient methods of farming was to burn some sections of the forest and then cultivate the new areas that the ashes had fertilized.
Ash is a natural fertilizer and the fact that it then returns to the soil is part of nature’s cycle. In addition to burning tree trunks and branches, ashes can also be obtained from pruned branches, grasses and dried leaves.
Among the nutritional elements of ash are the vitally important potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium. The quantity and quality of the nutritional elements contained in the ash depend on what is burned to obtain it: the age of the plant from which the wood was obtained, the species, the environment in which the tree or plant that was used grew. , For example.
Before spreading incense ash on the ground as fertilizer, it is also very important to note that you should only use the ash as fertilizer when the source of the burned wood can be traced.
natural cycle
The ash represents the end result of a kind of natural cycle:
- A tree, through its roots, first of all, absorbs all the nutrients from the soil;
- through water, the tree absorbs other nutrients;
- All the elements absorbed by the soil and water accumulate in the wood of the trunk and branches of the tree;
- when wood is burned, the fire produces smoke through which oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, sulfur are dispersed and ashes are produced;
- The ash obtained from the wood of the burnt tree contains many nutrients that are returned to the soil using the ash as fertilizer and is also a wonderful way to return key elements to nature to help plants grow and thrive.
I love this concept so much!

Where did incense originate? [Historia y simbolismo detrás de esto]
Using the correct incense is very important
By extinguishing incense, we create even more smoke than could come from natural combustion and complete consumption. We must keep in mind that common and low-priced incense is manufactured in India in large factories that use a variety of chemicals to give aroma and color to the product.
Therefore, we can find synthetic laboratory perfumes, synthetic dyes, various glues and combustible raw materials of dubious quality and origin in our incense sticks.
The most common incense is the one that is shaped like a cone and a stick that is lit at one end and allowed to burn to create the smoke that characterizes the product. During combustion, the substances that make up incense burn and are released into the air through smoke, also releasing new substances formed by combustion such as formaldehyde.
In combustion, these substances, already full of allergens and toxic materials, change shape and become even more denatured and dangerous to health substances that come into contact with us through the air. They also contain heavy metal residues that are released into the environment during use and release very fine, harmful dust.
The fumes produced by poor quality incense are easily inhaled, go to the lungs, can damage the heart, lungs, arteries, cause respiratory problems and trigger allergies of varying degrees. If we do not find certificates on the labels, we are not sure of the product and the merchant cannot give us adequate information, let us not buy it.
The same caution should also be taken when purchasing scented candles, which are also often full of toxic substances that are released into the air. Therefore, let’s make sure we always buy high-quality certified products to enjoy the amazing benefits of incense while protecting our health too!
