How to ignite cypress powder

Incense powder ignition method: burn a special small piece of charcoal thoroughly, put it in an incense burner and bury it with fine incense ashes. Poke some holes in the incense ashes and put a "fireproof" made of porcelain, silver leaves or mica sheets to hold the spices. Generally, small fragrant pills, meatballs or sweet cakes specially made with various spices are used to burn incense. After picking, they are placed on the "fire prevention", and the spices are slightly smoked with charcoal fire to slowly emit fragrance.

Matters needing attention

The smell of burning cedar powder means spiritual strength and a symbol of eternal faith. It is one of the earliest aromatic substances used by human beings, and is often used as incense in temples, giving people a mysterious impression of it. Cedar essential oil was widely used in ancient Egypt, especially when making mummies. Egyptians made coffins and masts out of cedar wood.

Cedar was once used to build temples and other large buildings, but now it is mostly used to make small objects, such as boxes and pencils, because cedar will deform under certain conditions. Lebanese cedar, a kind of cedar used in some antiques, is a close relative of Atlantic cedar. Because of overuse, it is rarely used now.
