How to Use It

Light the tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so the ember glows. Stand it in an ash catcher, or push the bare end into a bowl of sand or rice, and open a window a crack — incense is meant to drift, not fill. Never leave it burning unattended; keep it away from curtains, children and pets.

In Tradition

In many Indian and Pakistani homes loban is burned on charcoal at dusk and carried room to room; it is the everyday clearing of the house, done with the resin rather than a herb.
