Incense is one of nature’s most important perfumes. Resin incense is the purest form of incense, and has been used since time immemorial. Resin is the natural sap that comes from the bark of a tree, or woody shrubs. This is made into little nuggets. It can also come in the form of wood pieces, dried leaves, seeds, roots, and the petals of flowers. There is no danger in using incense in its purest form. In fact, it’s been used since ancient times, for the powerful properties that help the mind to find peace and relaxation. Frankincense is one of the most popular resin incenses.

When incense is burned, it emits an aromatic vapor. Within this vapor are the naturally occurring chemical compounds that can benefit our wellbeing. Traditionally, incense nuggets are burned on hot charcoal. The problem with this method is that it is a hassle, and adds smoke to the air. By using the hot plate of an electric resin burner, you can cut out the use of charcoal altogether.

In this article, we look at several electric incense burners, and provide some context for these items. We’ll start with the Best Electric Resin Burner, the AM Regulator.

Essential oils are some of the most popular tools to use when it comes to living a natural lifestyle. They’re similar to incense, but you’re not dealing with smoke and the potential harms there.

In most cases, essential oils need to be evaporated in some way. Two of the more common ways to expel essential oils are vaporizers and diffusers.

In this article, we’ll look at Essential Oil Vaporizer Vs Diffuser, and explain what these terms mean. The long and short of it is that most manufacturers refer to machines that turn essential oil into nice-smelling mist as various items, including diffusers, vaporizers, nebulizers, humidifiers, etc. There’s tons of overlap in these terms, and most amazon listings through multiple variations in the descriptions.
