Make Your Own Incense With Healing Essential Oils, Quick and Easy
This method of making incense is quick and easy, and when you make incense with real essential oils, you may add an authentic and healing quality to your homemade incense. You can find "makko" at bulk herb or health food stores, or online (see Resources)
Instructions
1. Put 3 teaspoons powdered makko into the mortar.
2. Stir in 10 drops of your chosen essential oils. Blend well. Examples of popular essential oils for making incense include patchouli, lavender, frankincense, sandalwood, sage, orange, eucalyptus and many others.
3. Add warm water a few drops at a time while mixing in each new amount. You want a soft, moldable, dough-like texture. Crumbly is too dry, so add more water. Sticky is too wet, so add more dry.
4. Form cones that are flat on the bottom and about an inch or so high. The base shouldn't be more than a half inch thick.
5. Dry them upright on wax paper until the sides of the cones are dry, then lie them down to dry the base.
6. Burn and enjoy. If you feel there's too much of one scent and not enough of another, you can grind these up again and add new essential oils with a little more warm water.
