Got a little fragrance oil, aromatherapy or essential oil left over from other products? Put it to good use by creating your own incense cones and sticks!

Custom incense is a lot easier to make than you might imagine. With a small mortar and pestle and a few herbal ingredients you can create a unique fragrance all your own.

Burning incense makes great sense. It's a natural, nontoxic air freshener that serves as a terrific alternative to today's aerosols, plug-ins and the like. And it has a great track record: people have been using it for thousands of years and for all sorts of reasons.
