What you get in this set
The gift box contains a metal diffuser with a Tree of Life design and a total of fifteen incense bricks. Each of the five elements (Wood, Fire, Metal, Earth, Water) comes with three bricks, individually wrapped. A tea light can be placed under the diffuser, and the warmth releases the brick's fragrance. The bricks are made from natural ingredients, release fragrance when warmed and do not burn off toxic gases. The origin is India.
How to use the five kinds of bricks
Place the diffuser on a heat-resistant, stable surface. Put a tea light under it and place on top a brick from whichever element you wish at the moment. One brick lasts about 45-60 minutes. The fragrance notes are: Wood – rosewood, cypress, sandalwood, turmeric; Fire – cinnamon, ginger, sandalwood, rose, ylang-ylang; Metal – eucalyptus, thyme, bergamot, tangerine, cedarwood, pine; Earth – warm, earthy-spicy notes; Water – fresh, cleansing notes. Store the remaining bricks airtight.
How you can use it in everyday life
This set is designed for those who would like to start fine-tuning the atmosphere with Feng Shui, or simply experience how the five elements smell in a space. Wood relates to new beginnings (spring, starting a project), Fire to momentum and joy (creating, a friends' gathering), Metal to clarity and focus (home office, study), Earth to stability and trust (children's space, guest room) and Water to settling (evening, bathing, meditation). With a single set you can experiment with confidence.
How to know this is the right choice for you
Choose this set if you are getting to know Feng Shui, or wish to give a special gift to a friend or family member who is building a home. With one purchase you can try every element, and later you can order a separate box of your favourites. The decorated metal diffuser is also a lovely sight in itself, sitting nicely on a shelf when not in use.
What to watch out for in use
Never leave the tea light unattended, and keep it away from curtains, books and papers. The metal surface of the diffuser becomes hot during use; do not touch it and let it cool before moving. Keep away from children and pets. In a household with asthma or sensitive airways, ventilate and do not burn for many hours in a closed space. With strong fragrance sensitivity, start with half a brick.
