It was used in Ancient Egypt, by the Greeks and Romans, by the Mayans, the Hebrews, India, China and Japan... and in France! Incense was, and still is, used for certain religious rites to pay homage to the Gods, to promote spirituality and to accompany prayer. In China, Tibet and India, doctors also used incense to relieve and heal. Today, incense is still used in Asia on a daily basis.
