Is Natural Incense Damar Gum Bad for You?

Traditionally, incense was made with tree resins, aromatic herbs and woody plants and this is good for health. Today’s commercial incense market, it’s much more difficult to find something made with high-quality materials. Much of the incense found on store shelves these days is a combination of artificial fragrances and unsustainably harvested plants.

Ingredients listed as “fragrance” or “parfum” are completely unregulated by the government. These chemicals are unhealthy for humans as well as the environment, and breathing in smoke from them has further consequences for our respiratory systems.

In the short-term, synthetic fragrances have been known to cause headaches and skin irritations, but they can have even more serious adverse effects on our health in the long-run.

When burned, they fill your home with airborne phthalates and parabens. These substances are known to be endocrine-disrupting chemicals, which means they have negative impacts on our hormone levels.

When you want to use incense, make sure that you use the natural one.
