How to use your Charcoal incense
To use a charcoal incense disc, follow these steps:
1. Select a heat-resistant surface: Place the charcoal incense disc on a heat-resistant surface like a metal tray or a ceramic bowl. This will prevent any damage to your furniture or countertops.
2. Prepare the incense: Choose your desired incense resin, herbs, or powdered incense. You can find a variety of options at a local spiritual or wellness store. Place a small amount (usually a pinch or two) of the incense on the charcoal disc.
3. Ignite the charcoal disc: Hold the charcoal disc with a pair of tongs or tweezers. Use a lighter or a matchstick to ignite one corner of the disc. Let the flame spread across the surface of the disc. It may crackle and spark during this process.
4. Allow the charcoal disc to heat: Once the disc is ignited, let it burn for a few minutes until it turns gray or white. This indicates that the charcoal is fully lit and ready for the incense.
5. Add the incense: Once the charcoal disc is fully lit, carefully place the incense on top of it. You can sprinkle the incense directly onto the disc or use a small heat-resistant dish or incense holder to contain the incense.
6. Enjoy the fragrance: As the incense begins to heat up, it will release its aromatic smoke. Take a moment to relax and enjoy the fragrance filling the air. You can also use a feather or a fan to gently disperse the smoke around the room.
7. Safety precautions: Remember to exercise caution when handling the hot charcoal disc. Always use tongs or tweezers to avoid any burns. Also, ensure proper ventilation in the room by opening windows or using a fan if necessary.
8. Extinguish the charcoal disc: Once you have finished using the incense, allow the charcoal disc to cool completely before disposing of it. You can place it in a metal container or submerge it in water to ensure it is fully extinguished.
