About
Each blend draws on materials with a long history in incense and ritual use. Myrrh is a natural resin from the Commiphora tree, used throughout history as a perfume, incense, and in ancient texts as a way to connect to the Divine. Palo Santo, meaning "Holy Wood," is a wild tree from the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador and Peru, related to Copal, Myrrh, and Frankincense. White Copal comes from the Aztec Nahuatl word "Copalli," referring to resins from trees of the Bursera family. White Sage is considered sacred and is traditionally believed to cleanse a space of negative energy, while the White Sage & Lavender and White Sage & Palo Santo blends combine it with other aromatics for a fuller sensory experience.
These cones are a popular pick in our Aromatherapy collection, and pair well with tools for intuition and spirituality or a favorite book on ritual practice.
How to use it
Place a cone point-up in the chimney of a backflow incense burner designed for backflow cones. Light the tip, let it catch, then gently blow out the flame so it smolders. The smoke will flow downward and pool around the burner's base for a cascading effect. Always burn on a stable, heatproof surface in a well-ventilated room.
Safety & care
Only use these cones with a backflow-style burner on a heatproof, stable surface, and never leave burning incense unattended. Keep it well away from children, pets, curtains, papers, and other flammable materials, and burn in a ventilated room. Let the burner and any ash cool completely before handling or disposing of them.
Frequently asked questions
What is a backflow incense cone?
It's a specially shaped incense cone designed to be burned on a backflow burner, where the smoke flows downward instead of rising, creating a cascading smoke effect.
What scents are available?
Blends include Myrrh, Palo Santo, White Copal, White Sage, White Sage & Lavender, and White Sage & Palo Santo.
Do I need a special burner for these cones?
Yes. Backflow cones require a backflow incense burner with a channel or chimney for the smoke to flow down through; they won't create the cascading effect on a standard incense holder.
Are backflow incense cones a health or medical product?
No. They are a decorative and aromatic ritual product for meditation, ambiance, or ceremony, not a health product or medical treatment.
Is it safe to leave incense cones burning unattended?
No. Always burn incense on a heatproof surface in a ventilated room and never leave it unattended, especially around children, pets, or flammable materials.
How do I get the cascading smoke effect to work?
Light the tip of the cone, let the flame catch for a few seconds, then blow it out so the cone smolders. Set it in a backflow burner's designated spot and the smoke should flow downward.
