Incense has a long history, with evidence of its use spanning thousands of years and reaching across ancient civilizations. In places like Egypt, it held a significant role in religious ceremonies and funeral rituals, symbolizing purification and transformation. Similarly, ancient cultures in China, India, and Japan viewed incense as a means to ward off negative energy and draw in positive influences. Even in the West, incense gained popularity in the Middle Ages for its practical uses of masking odors and preventing the spread of disease, but it has always been treasured for its ability to connect us to spirituality and inspire the soul.
