Watch television for any amount of time and sooner rather than later, you will view a commercial for some type of home fragrance or air freshener product. If you watch television for a week, you will probably know five different ways to keep your home “fresh-smelling” at the end of the week, solely through television commercials.

There are candles, of course. There are plug-ins that are inserted into your outlets. There are battery-powered products, and both automatic and manual sprays. But one concern some people have over these items is how artificial they can be, or how many chemicals they may be releasing into the air. When you stop to think about it, do you really want to be inhaling all those potentially toxic chemicals for hours on end? Worse yet-what if you have children or pets? As smaller beings with delicate respiratory systems, children and pets are much more sensitive to these types of airborne chemicals than adult human beings are.

A much safer alternative is herbal incense. Many of you are familiar with incense in stick or cone form. But did you know that these forms of incense can contain glue or resin, to aid in the stick or cone keeping its’ shape? Not exactly the chemical-free option you were looking for, huh? Herbal incense is different-it is simply dried herbs, the everyday herbs that one can grow in their very own garden. That’s it! There are no chemicals, no artificial scents, and no carcinogens. Herbal incense is easy and safe to use, and as an added bonus, can be made at home for the more creative individuals.
