How to Make Fragranced Incense Sticks

Incense has been used traditionally in different forms for thousands of years. The most common form is to burn woods, herbs, spices, resins, directly or over a piece of charcoal. For example, one can burn Frankincense 'tears' and Myrrh rocks by this method. Chips of woods such as sandalwood and Agarwood (Aloeswood, Jinko can be burned directly in a burner. More complex incense can be made by applying powders of various herbs, roots, woods etc., onto a wooden stick. The powders are held together and stick to the wooden stick using a natural binding glue. These type of incense sticks are called Masala incense sticks or Masala batti. The word 'batti' denotes something that is lighted. The word Agarbatti probably originated from an incense stick made of Agarwood, hence the word Agarbatti - 'Agar' + 'Batti'.
