Collection: INCENSE

This is a fascinating topic. Modern medicine believes that tiny dust particles can enter the body and induce lung cancer. However, traditional medicine doesn't see it that way. For example, COVID-19 spreads through aerosols. Traditional medicine believes that burning Atractylodes lancea (a type of medicinal herb) destroys these aerosols. Therefore, burning Atractylodes lancea for plague prevention has a history of thousands of years in China. So, traditional medicine believes there are two types of tiny dust particles, differing only in their behavior after entering the body: one induces cancer or other diseases, the other treats them. Eastern traditional medicine considers anything poisonous to be medicine, because only poison can cure disease. How to use poison is a matter of thousands of years of traditional wisdom. Without accumulated experience, poison is just poison and cannot cure disease. People today also observe that Chinese medicine produced in Indonesia has no medicinal effect, while the same plant from China has therapeutic effects. This is due to climate differences; the minute components have different medicinal effects in the human body. Lighting an incense stick, the wisps of smoke convey thousands of years of wisdom. As a professor, immersed in the world of academia late at night, seeking the truth. The collision of history and the present is life.
