Incense burns slowly and the fragrance produced usually lasts for hours. This probably is the reason, why it is burnt twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, keeping the home fragrant throughout the day. Unlike other smokes, incense smoke is good for health. Burning incense not only absorbs the foul odour, but it also purifies the air. Incense sticks and cones are made of different products which help to purify the air and absorb all the impurities.

Aromatic candles are another good option to deodorize the air. Aromatic candles, unlike regular candles, which only enlighten the area, also produce scent in the room. Organic aromatic candles are the best aromatic candles available in the market because they are made of beeswax instead of paraffin wax. Beeswax is a natural wax that does not have harmful effects like the synthetic wax. Unlike paraffin, beeswax emits negative ions that clean and purify the air when burnt. These candles are added with essential oils and other natural ingredients that do not cause any respiratory problems and do not cause headaches to people suffering from a migraine.
