An incense stick is composed of materials that release fragrances when burned. "Incense" actually refers to the substance as opposed to the smell an incense stick generates. When lit on fire and and blown out, incense sticks will glow red.
Incense is often used in homeopathic medicine and for its aesthetic properties. Two types of common incense sticks:
The thin straight incense stick. This stick incense does not contain a supporting core, only a small bamboo stick at the foundation of the incense for support in burning. It originated in Asia, where it was often used in spiritual and religious ceremonies. This is the most common type of incense commonly produced.
The small cone incense stick. This stick incense also does not have a supporting core, but in place of a stick to aid in burning this incense typically burns in a dish. This incense is also believed to have originated in the Asia area. Due to its size and stature this incense is relatively quick burning.
