How should I burn SATTVA Sandalwood Incense Sticks safely?

To burn SATTVA Sandalwood Incense Sticks safely, always use a proper incense holder that keeps the stick upright and catches the ash. Place the holder on a stable, heat‑resistant surface away from curtains, paper, or anything flammable. The room should be ventilated — open a window slightly to let the smoke disperse, but avoid strong drafts that could make the stick burn unevenly. Keep the burning stick out of reach of children and pets, and never leave it unattended. If you are sensitive to fragrances or smoke, start with a short burning time: light the stick for a few minutes, then extinguish it by gently blowing it out or pressing the lit end into a fireproof dish. These sticks are hand‑rolled on a bamboo base, which gives a slow, even burn, but the actual burn time depends on the room’s airflow and humidity. Always make sure the stick is completely out before disposing of the ash. Store the remaining sticks in a dry place, as moisture can affect how they burn.
