The short answer is... It depends on these factors:
- Type of incense
- Frequency of use
- Individual sensitivities.
In more detail,
The smoke produced by burning incense contains particulate matter, and inhaling these particles may irritate your respiratory system.
Some studies suggest that long-term exposure to incense smoke indoors may be associated with an increased risk of respiratory issues, particularly in individuals with pre-existing conditions such as asthma or allergies.
How to stay SAFE
- Burn your incense in well-ventilated areas.
- Take breaks between usage.
- Be mindful of any adverse reactions.
- Use natural or hypoallergenic incense options.
If you have respiratory concerns or are sensitive to smoke, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
