The raw materials of Buddha incense are all kinds of fragrant plant parts, such as bark, resin, sawdust, roots, leaves, flowers and fruits. These spices include sandalwood, Daphne odora, clove, tulip, borneol (collectively five spices), incense, benzoin and so on. Buddhism respects life and protects living things, so it also uses Long Xianxiang and musk secreted by animals.

Most of the popular Buddha incense is synthetic incense, but it often has side effects. Buddha incense is mainly divided into two categories: burning incense and painting incense. Burning incense is to purify the body and mind by burning spices and dyeing them with fragrance. Applying perfume is to apply perfume to an object or body in order to purify the body and mind. You can use perfume, sesame oil, fragrant medicine and so on. In the past, you used to take a bath with sesame oil and fragrant soup, or you put spices in capsules and pillows to make sachets and pillows.

In addition, Buddha incense can naturally emit fragrance and achieve the effect of cleaning the environment.
