Incense
Incense is essentially any herbs and other aromatics processed for burning. Incense has been used since before recorded history, for ritual, health, purification, religious offering, and to influence mental states. Most incense contains aromatic materials, a binder–often acacia gum–and a little charcoal to help in burn evenly. Purer forms use plant-based mucilage to bind the scent agents, with naturally occurring cellulose taking the place of charcoal in the mixture.
