Aromatherapy is the therapeutic use of essential oils from plants. The term was 
coined in 1928. The food and perfume industries are the largest users of essential 
and fragrance oils. Essential oils are the odoriferous part of plants. These extracts 
are distilled and are applied to the body by message, inhaled, used as a compress 
or inserted into a bodily orifice. 

Modern day aromatherapy is one of the fastest growing complementary therapies. 
Skeptics reject aromatherapy as lacking in scientific basis and for a lack of clinical 
trials. 

The use of incense and oils is in fact ancient. They were widely used by the ancient 
Egyptians, Native American and others from all over the world. You know one from 
the stories in the Bible. Have you heard of myrrh? Vases of essential oils were found 
with Tutankhamen in 1922. They still retained their distinctive fragrance after 3,000 
years. Essential oils are commonly mixtures of over 100 different organic compounds. 

Aromatherapy is used for a wide range of physical, mental and emotional conditions, 
including burns, severe bacterial infections, insomnia, depression, hypertension, and 
arrhythmias (irregular heart beat). 

The basis of the action of aromatherapy is thought to be the same as that of modern pharmacology, but in using smaller doses. The chemical constituents are absorbed 
into the body, affecting particular physiological processes. Aromatherapy oils are 
taken into the body via the oral, dermal, rectal, or vaginal routes--or simply by 
olfaction (smell). 

These reasons have been proposed for the administration of aromatherapy in 
conventional medical settings: relaxation, stress and anxiety relief, pain and 
discomfort relief; insomnia and restlessness, infections and wound healing, burns, 
enhanced self image, stimulating immune function, and treatment for constipation. 

Essential oils have a well established track record in their action as antimicrobial 
agents. Alcohols, geraniol, eugenol (which has a long history in dentistry), menthol 
and citral all have high antibacterial activity. 

In summary, aromatherapy is a recent development in alternative/complementary 
medicine. While aromatic substances and oils have a usage reaching into antiquity, 
there has been no sound system developed for their use. Until a sound scientific 
base is ascertained, it is believed that aromatherapy will not take its full place beside 
the more established complementary health care systems.

Incense Making
TOOLS NEEDED FOR INCENSE RECIPES

First, you will want to have all your tools and ingredients together, before you start.
You will need:

• Your incense ingredients (Found in our Wholesale and Retail stores under "Oils & 
   Herbs and Teas")
• Mortar and pestle (a grinder) if your herbs/resins/flowers are not already in a finely 
  powdered form. (Found in our Wholesale and Retail stores under "Herbs and Teas")
• A measuring device-spoons, cup, or scale, depending on the quantity you are 
   making.
• A hammer and metal mortar-if you have to crush a stone ingredient.
•Some small bowls, plates or containers for the powdered ingredients.
• A large wooden or ceramic mixing bowl-to blend your ingredients.
• A container for storing your incense (airtight is preferred).




GETTING YOUR HERBS AND\OR ROOTS PREPARED FOR MAKING 
INCENSE (if not using oils)

No matter what incense recipes you are using, your incense ingredients will most 
likely need to be powdered, one by one. Grinding by hand is a wonderful way of 
adding your own being into the incense. It is also somewhat relaxing and hypnotic. 
If your intention is a magical incense, set your goal in your mind, before you begin 
(prosperity, love, health, etc). It is especially helpful to visualize the intended outcome, 
as you grind. Even if you are not making a strictly "magical incense", you can still 
add your intention to your finished incense in this way. 

Some incense ingredients will be easier to grind, than others. Some, will take a little 
practice to find just the right method. Experiment and find out what works best for you. 
Sometimes, you may even find that it is easier, if you don't fight so hard, when grinding. 
Be flexible. If you have to grind a stone, you might try smashing the stone with a 
hammer, first. Then, grind the smashed stone to a fine powder in a metal mortar. 
If hand grinding your incense ingredients is plainly distasteful, you have arthritis, or 
you just don't have time, you can always use an electric coffee grinder (do not use 
the grinder for stones). 

If you are creating your own incense recipes or blends, be sure to write down every 
ingredient, what quantity, and what you visualized, as you go along, so you can 
recreate this incense in the future.

Incense has been smoldering somewhere in the world for thousands of years. It has 
been used for religious, and magical purposes, even as an air deodorizer, much as it
 is today. It is a wonderful way to change or set a particular mood.

All organic matter has it's own inherent energy or vibration, as well as planetary and 
elemental correspondences. In making ones own magical incense, the magician 
chooses ingredients that will have the energies needed to manifest the goal. For a 
love incense recipe, you would choose ingredients that are known for promoting or 
attracting love. These energies may be used alone, or blended to add power to the 
magic work. A cleansing incense recipe might be used to clear a space of all 
negativity prior to the magikal work, as well. In ritual, the energies are released through smoldering, and become accessible to the magician to use towards manifesting the 
desired magickal goal.



BLENDING YOUR INCENSE INGREDIENTS

Now, that you have all your herbs, resins, crystals, barks, flowers, etc. finely 
powdered and filled with intent, you are ready to mix and blend them into a finished 
product. Take all your incense ingredients, one by one, and add them to the large 
bowl. As you add each ingredient, mix them together with your fingers, visualizing 
the intended outcome as you do. Add your own power of intention, coming off your 
hands and blending with the energies of the incense in the bowl. Know that your will 
is infusing the incense with the energy to help manifest the magical goal. Now you 
are ready to add any oils or liquids to your blend. You won't need very much, just 
a few drops is usually sufficient. If you are making a large amount of incense, and 
you are short a powdered ingredient, but have that oil on hand, it is usually fine to 
substitute a couple of drops of oil for the herb. Blend the oils and/or liquids into your 
incense, visualizing as you go.
Some incense will call for a particular stone, as an ingredient. Usually, you only 
need a very small pinch, to give the effect. Add this in last, visualizing as you do. 
If you only want to boost your incense, you can normally add a pinch of amber, 
as it is an all around power booster. Dragon's Blood resin is also used in this way.


NOW THAT YOU HAVE FINISHED CREATING YOUR INCENSE

You now have a complete incense. You can choose to take it one step farther and 
do a full empowerment ritual now, another day, or not at all (if you are not making a 
magical incense). Place the finished product in an airtight container, and mark it 
plainly with name and date. Keep it in a cool dark place. When you are ready to use 
your incense, just light a charcoal tablet, fan for a minute, then add a teaspoon or so
 of incense to the top of the tablet. If your incense recipes are being used for a spell 
or ritual, a tablet will burn for at least 30 minutes so you can light it at any time, and 
add the incense later.



Cautions and Disclaimers:
Never leave burning product unattended. Charcoal tablets, used improperly can cause
severe burns or house fires. If you have never used charcoal tablets, be sure to read 
about them first! If you have never used any kind of herbs before, please read about 
them first!
We make no claims, where magical incense is concerned as to it's effectiveness or 
magical powers. This information is provided as a teaching guide, for how it is and 
has been used in the past, and you have to make your own decisions as to the 
suitability for any particular purpose.
