Cloves are most widely known as a culinary spice, native to Indonesia. Its use has spread widely, with uses ranging from being a key component in tea in Northern India, a frequent part of Vietnamese pho broth, a wide array of Mexican dishes, and even as a frequent addition to cheese in the Netherlands. In Japan and china, one will also find cloves used as an important material for incense, and in some European countries one will find them around Christmas and Yule as a holiday decoration, called a Pomander, where the cloves are inserted into an orange and hung about the home. Spiritually, they are seen to be of great use in banishing hostile and negative forces, as well as aiding in enhancing or starting friendship and love. In both Chinese and Western medicine, cloves have seen use in dentistry, where its oil is a painkiller. In this way, it is also sometimes used to numb away irritation and pain on the skin. They are also used in a variety of ways to aid in digesting, soothing the stomach, or even relieving gas. In aromatherapy, Cloves have seen use in clearing the head, as well. In Chinese medicine it is also utilized sometimes in treating impotence or morning sickness.

How to burn Resin Incense
What you will need:
-- Your Resin, Herb or powder incense.
-- Charcoal Discs: you can find many varieties in our etsy store
-- A bowl, urn or plate: almost anything that can withstand heat will work. Often people add sand to a bowl to help absorb heat. Ornate traditional incense burners in metal are also recommended. We also carry Charcoal Tongs so you don't burn your fingers.
-- A lighter or matches: to start the self-igniting charcoal. A lighter is best
1. Light the charcoal and place it in your bowl or urn.Never hold the charcoal with your fingers - always use tongs or even pliers. Apply flame to the side of the charcoal for about 20 seconds. The charcoal will then self-ignite across the surface. Charcoals do not usually light easily if they are laying flat on some surface or in a bowl. It is best to hold the charcoal in the air with a tool when applying the flame to the charcoal.
2. Wait for the charcoal to ignite and warm up. This usually takes about 3 minutes. You will notice the charcoal starting to go gray around the edges.
3. Add resins, herbs or powder incense. Just place a small amount on top of the charcoal. The resins or herbs will begin to burn and release their essential oils through the smoke.
4. Enjoy. Every aromatic herb and resin has different properties, and can evoke different moods. Experiment and enjoy!
