We used to have two bags of potpourri hanging in our bedroom. That was after our former house helper accidentally broke the ceramic oil burner that we had been using for years. We like oil burners. When we acquired the habit of burning a mixture of aromatic oil and water with tea candles we weren’t even aware of the term aromatherapy.
Speedy came home the other night with a new oil burner and I spent several minutes taking photos with the intention of capturing the fine wisps of smoke that it emitted.
We burn aromatic oil not for any health reason. It’s more for the relaxing mood that it helps create that no air freshener with all its chemicals can achieve. It’s the same reason that we occasionally light incense sticks at home. No, incense poses no serious health hazard unless lighted in a poorly ventilated room.
