Incense | Fatal Conveniences™

01 Jun Incense | Fatal Conveniences™

Posted at 06:00h in Fatal Conveniences, Podcast by
 
Burning incense or resins has been a common practice among almost all ancient civilizations in the preservation of tombs, spiritual healing, and ceremonies. But…the commercialization of incense has led to incense no longer being what they once were…
 
Did you know, incense contains 35% fragrances…and you know what’s hiding under the fragrance label? Chemicals linked to cancer, hormonal imbalances, endocrine disruption, birth defects and reproductive problems. 
 
Plus, burning incense can emit benzene, toluene and other volatile organic compounds deteriorating the environment. 
 
This is only skimming the surface and why we’re about to explore the fatal convenience of incense.

    Thanks for the info! What about the Palo Santo wood sticks? Do they typically add fragrance? I thought it was just the wood. Or sage? Isn’t it usually just the herb?
