How to use sandalwood powder as incense
For gentle heating, place a small pinch on a mica plate, above an incense charcoal, beginning with a generous distance and adjusting gradually. You can also shape the powder into a small cone on a suitable heat-resistant holder, light the tip, then gently extinguish the flame so it smolders, like an incense cone with no binders. Use with ventilation and never leave hot charcoal or burning incense unattended.
