Swift-Lite Charcoal Discs are self-lighting, easy-to-use charcoal tablets designed for burning loose incense, resins, herbs, and for use in hookahs (nargile/shisha pipes). Follow these simple steps to get the most out of your charcoal discs.
🌿 How to Burn Loose Incense with Charcoal Discs
✅ What You Need
✔️ Swift-Lite Charcoal Discs
✔️ A heatproof burner (ceramic, metal, or stone)
✔️ Tongs (for safe handling)
✔️ Loose incense, resins, or herbs
✔️ Lighter or matches
🔥 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare Your Burner 🏺
- Use a heatproof dish like a brass, stone, or ceramic incense burner.
- If your burner isn’t heatproof, add sand or ash at the bottom for insulation.
2️⃣ Light the Charcoal Disc ⚡
- Hold the disc with tongs (never with your fingers! 🖐️🔥).
- Use a lighter or match to ignite the edge.
- The disc will begin to spark and crackle as it self-ignites.
3️⃣ Let It Heat Up ⏳
- Place the lit disc in your burner.
- Wait 1-2 minutes until the entire surface turns grey and ashy—this means it’s ready.
4️⃣ Add Your Loose Incense or Resin 🌿💨
- Sprinkle a small amount of loose incense, resin, or herbs on top.
- The incense will smolder and release its fragrant smoke.
5️⃣ Enjoy the Aroma ✨
- Add more incense as needed to keep the fragrance going.
- Avoid overloading the charcoal—too much resin can smother the heat.
6️⃣ Safely Dispose of the Charcoal 🗑️
- Allow the charcoal to cool completely before discarding.
- Never dispose of hot charcoal in the bin—use sand or water to ensure it’s fully extinguished.

Handmade Loose Incense – FAQs
About Our Loose Incense
1. What makes Herbs on the Hill loose incense special?
Our handmade loose incense is blended in the traditional style, using the purest natural resins, wildcrafted herbs, and therapeutic-grade essential oils. Each blend is carefully crafted using time-honored recipes that have been used for centuries in meditation, cleansing, relaxation, and spiritual practice.
2. Is your loose incense 100% natural?
Yes! We use only pure plant-based ingredients—no synthetic fragrances, fillers, or chemical additives. Every blend contains carefully sourced resins, herbs, and essential oils for an authentic, high-quality experience.
3. How is loose incense different from incense sticks or cones?
Loose incense is in its raw form—natural resins, herbs, and oils—and needs to be burned on a charcoal disc or heated in an incense burner. Unlike sticks or cones, it offers a more potent, customizable aromatic experience.
How to Use Loose Incense
4. How do I burn loose incense?
Choose a heatproof burner – Use a ceramic, metal, or stone dish, ideally filled with sand.
Light a charcoal disc – Hold it with tongs and light one edge. Let it turn grey (about 1-2 minutes).
Add incense – Sprinkle a small amount onto the hot charcoal.
Enjoy the aroma – The fragrant smoke will fill your space. Add more incense as needed, but don’t overload the charcoal.
5. Can I use an electric incense burner instead of charcoal?
Yes! Electric burners allow the incense to slowly release its scent without smoke, making them a great alternative if you prefer a cleaner burn.
Storage & Longevity
6. How should I store my loose incense?
Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. This helps preserve the essential oils and resins for a long-lasting aroma.
7. Does loose incense expire?
Natural resins don’t "expire," but the fragrance of essential oils may fade over time. If stored properly, your incense will stay potent and fresh for 1-2 years.
Safe Burning Practices
8. Is loose incense safe to burn indoors?
Yes, but always:
✅ Use in a well-ventilated area.
✅ Keep away from flammable materials (curtains, paper, etc.).
✅ Never leave burning incense unattended.
✅ Use a heatproof burner to protect surfaces.
9. Does incense smoke have any health effects?
Our incense is 100% natural, but like all smoke, it’s best to burn in a well-ventilated space if you have respiratory sensitivities.
Customization & Spiritual Use
10. Can I mix different incense blends together?
Absolutely! You can blend different resins, herbs, and oils to create a custom aroma that suits your mood or intention.
11. What are the spiritual benefits of loose incense?
Different ingredients are traditionally used for:
🌿 Frankincense & Myrrh – Purification, meditation, and grounding.
💫 Lavender & Sage – Calming, relaxation, and energy cleansing.
🔥 Dragon’s Blood – Protection, empowerment, and focus.
🌹 Sandalwood & Rose – Love, self-care, and emotional balance.
12. Can I use loose incense for cleansing my space?
Yes! Many of our blends include resins and herbs known for their cleansing and purifying properties, used for centuries in rituals, energy work, and sacred spaces.
Common Issues & Troubleshooting
13. My charcoal won’t stay lit—what can I do?
Make sure the charcoal is fully ignited before adding incense.
Use fresh charcoal—old or damp discs won’t burn properly.
Store charcoal in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption.
14. My incense is smoking too much—how do I fix it?
Use less resin per burn—a small amount goes a long way!
Allow charcoal to settle before adding incense (if it’s too hot, it may burn too quickly).
15. My resin melts but doesn’t produce much smoke. Why?
Some resins melt before releasing smoke. Try adding wood chips or herbs to improve diffusion.

Our incense comes in eco-friendly, resealable pouches to preserve freshness while being kind to the planet.
