( 
)If you THINK you are allergic to incense, try natural imported incense.
Some people declare that 'incense give them headaches' lumping all incense into one category: "bad" - which is not fair. Now, perhaps, someone could have had reactions to any company's entire line or a number of combined ingredients (commonly flowers, plants, woods and essence resins); but, nobody is allergic to all plants oils or woods. Mostly, allergies tend to occur due to over-exposure to elements in your immediate environment, not species of plants from all over the world.
Knowing just how many variations of incense there are in existence makes it downright improbable that all incense could give any one person headaches (with the exception being those with immune function deficiencies - those are not the people we're referring to here). People could however get a headache from one type of incense (or a situation in the environment where incense were burning) and then reject all incense believing they have (or will get) a headache. They may even psychosomatic-ally generate the pain and believe it to be actual.
In all fairness, everyone's respiratory system is aggravated by "oil-dipped" incense due to: the combustion of alcohol; synthetic fragrance oil blends; glues that bind the wood material together & onto the stick and recycled wood pulps or various sawdusts (from who-knows-what manufacturing wastes).
Just to touch on an additional issue: if you were not aware, burning most candles is TERRIBLE for your health and immune system. Natural incense are a healthy alternative.
We can tell you which of our product are 100% natural and which have some fragrance oils; but, all of the Indian/Tibetan products we sell are hand-rolled, none are pressed with glues.
As all our customers know, though SATYA Nag Champa is both our best seller - as well as the world's - I suggest you try PADMINI Spiritual Guide - IMO it's the absolute BEST. I burn this in quantities that leaders of ashrams would find quite laudable ( for the record: I have many allergies and get allergy related headaches).
Happy Burning!
