How can we get people to accept and acknowledge that pure plant-based fragrances are beneficial to human health?
How can I get people to accept and acknowledge that pure plant-based fragrances are beneficial to human health?
My understanding is that modern civilization recognizes smoke as a product of incomplete combustion, and newspapers and magazines are full of erroneous information and unfounded medical reports claiming that fragrances are toxic, carcinogenic, or cause cognitive decline, etc. Once these alarming labels are attached, those who firmly believe in them remain so, making it very difficult to change their minds.
The Northern Song Dynasty poet Huang Tingjian described the ten virtues of fragrance: "It moves spirits and deities, purifies body and mind, dispels impurities,
awakens from sleep, becomes a friend in stillness, provides a moment of leisure amidst the dust, is never tiresome in abundance, is sufficient in scarcity, endures long storage, and is
harmless with frequent use."
Regular use of fragrances is beneficial to body, mind, and spirit. ...
True health should encompass physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.

While mental and spiritual health is invisible, intangible, and inaudible, it can be directly felt by the body.
For example, a Hong Kong lawyer who is a fragrance enthusiast recently bought some incense from a shop. One day, while enjoying the fragrance, a client came in for a discussion.
After sitting down, the client simply said, "It smells wonderful!" The two sat there for two hours
without exchanging any words until the client left, and
importantly, the hourly rate was still paid... XD
Smoking is harmful, but we should weigh the benefits against the harms and study how to improve the drawbacks.
Burning natural materials produces smoke, including our own keratinized skin.
Traditional Chinese medicine also uses burning herbs or heat to treat ailments.
Scientifically, we know that agarwood, sandalwood, and the essential oils of medicinal woods are beneficial to the human body,

and burning them is the most direct way to do so.
Essential oils not only have stress-relieving and sleep-aiding effects, but also warm and nourish the internal organs.

Invisible dust, bacteria, and viruses in the air are also trapped and adhere to walls or downwind areas by the essential oils released in the smoke,
preventing infection.
In ancient Han Dynasty China, incense was used to prevent plague outbreaks;

the yellowish-brown grease on the walls we see acts like an antibacterial agent.
There's also a non-burning method:
chop up the raw wood of agarwood, sandalwood, and Chinese medicinal herbs, and dry-distill it into essential oils using an electric incense burner.
However, the range is limited!
It can't cover a large area of dust, bacteria, and viruses.

Fragrance enthusiast A: It's about protecting our living space. I firmly believe that anything in excess will have its opposite effect.
But conversely, it will also affect our respiratory system!
My response: Yes, but don't misunderstand, only burning large quantities will! Ordinary people can't burn that much... The test involved a large amount of incense,
and the results were far below the standard value, mostly background levels!



Fragrance enthusiast A: So, a little air circulation should be beneficial for everyone.
My response: Yes. High-quality incense, burned in small quantities, is the best choice!
It can achieve the aforementioned effects of relieving stress, aiding sleep, and providing gentle nourishment, without causing minor harm to the body. Only
good incense can regain public recognition and confidence.
