I dont't burn anything either. I have found that scented candles work the
best.

Wow, you wouldn't have me as a customer no matter how good you are! Might as well burn cigars for
"ambiance". (Even if I weren't asthmatic, incense is pretty obnoxious.)

Here's my favorite, not for using with clients, but for myself. Try Red Crystal Incense. Made in
Tibet, it is hands down, the most unique scent I have ever experienced. It can be found online, and
comes in a brown and yellow box. But I couldn't recommend burning it while giving a massage. I also
like the Japanese incense I find at health food stores. Most of the sticks are shorter than average
and have no stick at the tip. Red Crystal is also like that. You just have to find a burner designed
for them, or fill a cup with of sand and bury one tip so it stands up.

Isn't incense at a "health food" store the ultimate irony? Do they keep it near the healthy
cigarettes or the organic vodka? If smoke inhalation was good for you, your lungs wouldn't make you
cough it out! I couldn't trust such a health food store!

(Stepping off the pulpit.) Of course, if you like scent of incense by all means enjoy it. (If you'd
said you got this incense online, or at a liquor store, or a head shop, or almost anything but a
health food store, I'd never have responded.)

I don't really know how to respond. I trust Tibetan Monks, Native Americans, Hindus, and the Hebrews
of the old Testament. They all either burned incense or smoked with spiritual overtones.

Even Earthfare, the "organic supermarket", sells incense. I guess as long as the ventilation is
okay, a little smoke doesn't bother me. I have yet to cough. I couldn't burn stick after stick, day
in and day out, but a few times here and there is no different from a fireplace, in my opinion.

-- I use it as a relaxation/meditation tool for myself along with candles. Yet growing up with a
sibling that is severely asthmatic, my personal fondness for these things developed as I was out and
on my own. It also made me more aware of the struggles that people have with allergens and etc..

But it's not like I'm sitting there burning incense and sucking it up thru a tube into my lungs...
it disperses a great deal before it reaches our noses and our noses filter the majority of
pollutants before it hits our lungs. My favorite kinda fire though, I must admit.. is a campfire!
<--good for me or not.. it's good for me lol (I know that made sense to some of you)

I know 'zactly what you mean!! There is something very mesmerizing about fires in general, and
campfires in particular. They smell good, feel good and you can lose yourself (at least I can) for
hours in them.

Campfires are nice...I just have to move a lot as the wind shifts.
