Agarbattis Or Incense Sticks Can Cure Headaches, Kill Germs, Battle Anxiety & Calm You Down!

Incense sticks or agarbattis come in so many different fragrances that it can confuse you at times. But every fragrance triggers something different in us, touches all senses. Be it for worshipping or just for a good fragrance in the house, an agarbatti or aggarbatti has many benefits depending upon what you truly need it for. It has so many advantages that you may not have even realised. So besides stating those benefits, I will also share some cool options of where all you can buy them from.

Healing

You may have noticed that many ayurvedic centers and meditation houses thrive on a lot of aromatherapy. This is simply because different aromas or fragrances have different properties that activate our body's receptors. As per some studies, these components help in speeding up the other processes in the body. Taking the example of sandalwood, it is said that it can help in healing infections faster. It basically has keratin, which is something found in the outermost layer of our skin.

Germs

Since these wonder sticks or cones are made of naturally found components that are known for having anti-bacterial properties, this makes agarbattis super helpful when it comes to keeping diseases at bay. Ince sticks kill germs and keep the area around you santised. Also, the anti-inflammatory components in them, also known as boswellic acid or frankincense, help in improving the blood flow in our system which in turn keeps the body healthy.

Migraines & Headaches

If you have a major headache and your head is pounding, light an agarbatti or incense stick. But then it also depends on which fragrance. Like I have a migraine and certain fragrances just elevate it like lavender. Yes, it is weird since this fragrance is supposed to calm you down but I have recently developed some allergy to it. So it is best that you do a little research on what suits you best. A simple fragrance has the power to calm you down and lower that stress level. Like I mentioned above, a fragrance has the power to heal, open congestions and relieve pain.

When we talk about heart rate and palpitations, a single agarbatti in eucalyptus or peppermint fragrance can change it all. It calms you down and stabilises you.
