Lighting the Incense Stick
Begin by lighting the tip of the incense stick with a match or lighter. Hold the flame to the tip for a few seconds until it catches fire.
Blowing Out the Flame
Once the tip is glowing and emitting a steady stream of smoke, gently blow out the flame. You should be left with a smoldering ember at the tip of the incense.
Placing in an Incense Holder
Choose a suitable incense holder or burner to catch any ash that may fall. Place the lit end of the incense stick securely into the holder, ensuring it stands upright.
Keep Out of Reach
Ensure that incense sticks are kept out of reach from children and animals. The lit end can be hot, and caution is necessary to prevent accidents.
Never Leave Unattended
Always stay near while the incense is burning. Never leave a lit incense unattended to avoid potential fire hazards.
Burn on Heat-Resistant Surface
Place the incense holder on a heat-resistant surface, such as a ceramic plate or a designated incense holder. This prevents any damage to surfaces and ensures a safe burning environment.
