Incense Holders/ Backflow Burners

Incense and backflow burners are related items often used together to create a soothing and aromatic atmosphere. Let's explore each of them separately:

  1. Incense: Incense refers to a substance, typically a mixture of aromatic plant materials, that produces a fragrant smoke when burned. It has been used for centuries in various cultures for spiritual, religious, meditative, and practical purposes. The aromatic smoke released by burning incense can help create a calming ambiance, mask unpleasant odors, and is often associated with spiritual practices and rituals.

Incense is commonly available in various forms, including sticks, cones, coils, and resin chunks. Each form has its advantages and characteristics. Incense sticks and cones are the most popular and widely used types. The incense sticks are slender and generally come with a wooden core that serves as a handle. On the other hand, incense cones are shaped like small pyramids or cylinders.

  1. Backflow Burners: Backflow burners, also known as backflow incense burners or waterfall incense burners, are a specialized type of incense holder that creates a mesmerizing and visually appealing effect. Unlike traditional incense holders, which simply hold the incense stick or cone upright, backflow burners have a unique design that allows the smoke to flow downward, creating a cascading or waterfall-like effect.

The backflow burner has a hollow cavity or channel that connects to the top where the incense is placed. At the bottom of this cavity, there is a small hole or openings. When the incense is lit and placed at the top, the smoke follows the path of least resistance and flows down through the channel, escaping through the openings at the bottom. The flow of smoke creates an enchanting spectacle, especially when used in dim lighting.

The backflow burners come in various designs and materials, often made from ceramic or resin. They are often crafted with intricate details and patterns, adding to their aesthetic appeal.
