If you love your garden then I know you’ll be interested in the new Wild Berry garden incense sticks that have just started to appear online to buy in the UK.

Garden incense sticks are ideal for keeping away bugs or to create a great atmosphere to help you relax after a hard day at work. They’re really easy to use and last for a good few hours. This particular brand of garden incense really took my eye due to the extensive range of scents.

The Wild Berry Incense company have grown steadily and are becoming ever more popular in the UK and with good reason judging by the reviews I’ve read online.

Using Garden Incense Sticks

If you’ve tried burning regular incense sticks at home then you’ll know how many great fragrances you can create. Garden incense sticks work in much the same way except that they’re much bigger, hence the name ‘biggies’, and more powerful than traditional incense.

Garden incense should still be burned safely but it’s a simple case of putting them in a pot or holder in a quiet area of the garden. You can use one or more for a more powerful aroma and then light them up. As soon as the incense stick has been lit you should then blow out the flame and let the incense smoulder. They should last a good few hours so they’re excellent value for money.

Wild Berry Garden Incense Stick Scents

Wild Berry Incense Sticks provide a wide range of good quality incense and have many positive reviews online. As such, I’ll trying these super-sized garden incense sticks this weekend as it looks like a good one.

There are 12 interesting fragrances to choose from:

Cherry Vanilla, Dragon’s Blood , Fizzy Pop, Fresh Rain, Ocean Wind, Opium, Patchouli, Peace of Mind, Sandalwood, Strawberry, Tranquility, Vanilla.

Each garden incense stick pack contains five incense sticks that are 48cm in length. Current prices seem reasonable starting at around £4.00 for what is a good quality brand.

As the Wild Berry Biggies have only just been launched in the UK, there aren’t any reviews online yet for this particular garden incense. I’d trust the quality of these garden incense sticks based purely on the Wild Berry reputation and positive reviews of their other incense.

Wild Berry incense is widely available online for delivery to the UK. I can’t wait to try out these incense ‘monsters’… Role on the Summer I say

Enticing Aromatherapy Fragrance Incense

There are a number of incense brands that I can turn to when I’m trying to create a specific mood in any room of my home; Tulasi incense sticks are one reliable source.
Another sure-fire winner is the Wild Berry incense range with over 70 to choose from.

Tulasi Aromatherapy Incense

The Tulasi incense comes from India and they have a range of incense sticks ready-made for calm and relaxation. The following aromas invoke a real sense of serenity, especially helpful if you meditate, and also provide the perfect restful setting for any room in your home.

Aromatherapy Incense: Energizing, Meditation, Refreshing Relaxing, Sensuality, Stress Relief.

Now you can tell by the above names that these incense sticks fall into two different types, those that aim to create a calming effect and incense that gives you a boost to your mood. As any incense fragrance is very subjective I’d recommend sampling one of each to see which helps you most.

Wild Berry Incense Sticks for Aromatherapy

The Wild Berry incense sticks brand manufacture all their own incense, among a wide range of other home fragrance products, and export them the world over. For the money, they provide a good balance between affordability and quality. The ‘aromatherapy’ inspired incense sticks include:

Aromatherapy Incense: Nirvana, Peace of Mind, Sensuality, Sky, Tranquility, Yin Yang, Zen.

Although not having sampled all of the Wild Berry incense range, there are almost 80, the more delicate fragrances above are certainly worth seeking out. A number of reviews give testament that Wild Berry can do subtle, despite their reputation for providing big powerful aromas in their general incense fragrance offerings.

Established in the US state of Ohio, the Wild Berry Incense Factory has been quietly going about their business since 1992. After being introduced to the UK incense market some years ago, they are now growing their incense fan base due to the ever increasing range of fragrances.

Wild Berry Products: The growing product lines include incense sticks (standard, long and shorties), garden incense, incense cones, scented candles, fragrance oils, home fragrance accessories, and their own range of branded clothing.

The Wild Berry Incense Factory in Oxford, Ohio is a privately owned incense based company and has an annual revenue between $2.5 – $5 million. Current figures show they employ a staff number 0f around 50 and continue to grow.

The bottom line is, Wild Berry have a good reputation and they produce incense sticks that people like and rate very highly.

There are certainly cheap and nasty incense sticks out there but we’re going to focus on some of the best value for money. Incense that truly inspires, such as aromatherapy incense that encourages relaxation or calm; depending on the mood you want to achieve.

What Incense Sticks Provide the Best Quality?

Incense aromas are very subjective and as such, it is a highly personal experience when burning incense sticks. Prices vary wildly and often reflect the quality of the particular incense sticks. You can pay as little as £0.50p per pack of terrible quality incense, rising to £30 or more for high quality Japanese incense sticks.

The best way to develop your own knowledge and preference is to look for incense reviews online. Just do a search and see what users have said. Buy a sampler pack of 10 or 20 sticks and be prepared to pay at least £1.50 upwards for anything reasonable as a starting point.

Indian Incense Sticks

There is along tradition of burning incense in India that dates back centuries. Many of the current day Indian incense sticks in production are named after Indian gurus such as Sathya Sai Baba and Sai Baba of Shirdi.

The ingredients for many brands of incense produced outside India, are derived from plants and flowers that originate in Asia and particularly from India. Many of the masala incense blends are unique to India so this is a good place to start your incense journey or to try new ones. Some of the larger manufacturers include Sarathi, Gajalaxmi Agarbarthi Works and the widely exported Shrinivas Sugandhalaya incense products.

Japanese Incense Sticks

All Japanese incense was originally imported from China from around 540 CE and was closely linked with Buddhism. Over time incense became embedded in the culture of Japan for use in meditation and relaxation.

Now Japan has some very established, and high quality, incense stick producers. Some of those incense manufacturers have been making incense for over three hundred years. Well respected makers of Japanese incense include Baieido, Nippon Kodo and Shoyeido which is one of the oldest.

Tibetan Incense Sticks

Most Tibetan incense was used historically while in meditation by monks. The countless Buddhist temples use incense in a spiritual form to create harmony and peace. Tibetan incense derives from not only Tibet, but also covers Bhutan and Nepal.

The Tibetan incense blends are very traditional with earthy notes and have remained unchanged for centuries. Many are derived from historic Vedic scriptures and also have medicinal Ayurveda qualities at their core. They tend to be very rustic in their style.

North American Incense Sticks

Although the US is not traditionally associated with producing incense, their is a definite historical link.  This typically dates back to to the burning of incense by North American Indians using local herbs and plants. A spiritual offering if you like.

Fast forward to modern day America and many of the thriving incense outlets offer many imported incense sticks. There are a few exceptions to this and some notable manufacturers that look to be doing well in the thriving US market are the more commercial Wild Berry Incense Company, Fred Soll and Mermade Magickal Arts among others.
