Safety

Burning incense and candles safely: Simple rules to protect your home and loved ones.

We want your experience with incense, candles, and oil burners to be peaceful and uplifting — but safety comes first! Here are a few simple rules to help you enjoy your rituals without worry.

1. Use a Proper Holder
Always place your incense, candles, or oil burners in a sturdy, heat-resistant holder. This keeps them upright and secure, preventing any risk of tipping over.

2. Place on a Heat-Resistant Surface
Some holders — especially metal incense burners and tea lights — can get extremely hot. Always rest them on a non-flammable, heatproof surface to avoid accidents.

3. Keep Away from Flammable Materials
Position burning incense and candles well away from curtains, fabrics, or anything that could catch fire. And be mindful of draughts that might blow flames or embers around.

4. Be Aware of Your Surroundings
If there's even a slight chance you might forget the flame is there or accidentally lean over a burning candle or incense stick, move it to a safer spot. Your clothes, hair, and peace of mind are worth it.

5. Never Leave Anything Burning Unattended
This is the golden rule: Never leave burning incense, candles, or oil burners unattended. Always extinguish them before leaving the room, and never fall asleep with something still burning — especially in a bedroom or around children and pets.

6. Don't Let Oil Burners Dry Out
If you’re using an oil burner, check the water level regularly. Letting it boil dry could cause the burner to crack or even catch fire.

7. Ventilate Your Space
Incense is wonderful for filling your home with fragrance and positive energy, but it’s important to allow for fresh airflow. You want to enjoy the scent, not feel overwhelmed by smoke!

By following these simple safety tips, you can relax and immerse yourself in the calming atmosphere that incense, candles, and oils bring.

Take care, burn mindfully, and enjoy every moment of your sacred space.
