How do you actually smoke incense correctly? Incense burning is a tradition that goes back thousands of years. At Naturwerkstatt Hinterseer in Lofer, this ancient knowledge is revived with high-quality natural products and modern forms of application – from traditional Hojari incense to innovative incense flowers. Find out here how to smoke properly – and why it’s worth it all year round.
Why smoke? The effect of frankincense & co.
Frankincense stands for:
- Cleaning rooms and energies
- Concentration and clarity during rituals, meditation or prayer
- Mood change through natural fragrances
- Connection to nature and mindfulness
The high-quality Hojari incense that you receive from us is considered to be one of the best in the world – hand-picked, pure and with a fine fragrance.
How do you smoke properly? Three proven methods
1. smoking with the incense flower from the Hinterseer nature workshop in Lofer
Our incense flower combines tradition with modern application. You place the incense – e.g. frankincense – directly on the special sieve, which is optimally positioned over a tea light. This creates a gentle, even smoke without the fragrance burning.

2. smoking with stove & sieve
Ideal for herbs or mixtures. Light a tea light, place a sieve on top, sprinkle a small amount of incense on top – and the fragrance is released.
3. smoking with coal
The traditional method for intensive rituals. Incense is placed on glowing charcoal and spreads a strong fragrance.
When is the right time?
Basically: Always!
You don’t have to wait for the Rauhnächte or a special occasion. Whether after a hard day’s work, to cleanse before moving house or to get in the mood for a new month – incense can be part of your everyday life.
Of course, special times are also ideal:
- Rough nights (21.12. – 6.1.)
- New moon & full moon
- Transitions in life (farewell, new beginnings)
- Spring cleaning, house cleaning, meditation
Which incense substances go well with frankincense?
Frankincense can be wonderfully combined – with:
- Myrrh – calming & centering
- Sage – strongly clarifying
- Lavender – relaxing
- Pine needles, spruce, Swiss stone pine – strengthening and grounding
In our online store you will find suitable incense blends, tailored to the seasons, themes and emotions.
