傳統的香,是一種藥香,採用古法炮製與中醫理論調製而成。透過蒸熏與嗅覺的方式,讓藥性進入人體。所以聞香時,注意空氣流通、留意個人身心狀況,選用適合兒童品聞的香品,〈如提高專注力、調整腸胃功能、促進食慾等〉。一般而言,品香並無性別或年齡之分!
有些孩子對煙較敏感,就可用精油取代,或將香粉加上天然黏合劑〈如天然楠樹皮粉或以古法煉密的方式〉,製成香餅或香丸,再以「空熏法」的方式讓香丸、香餅發出香氣。
Traditional
incense is comprised of herbs based on ancient Chinese medicine theories. By
steaming and smelling incense, the medicinal properties of the incense enter
our bodies. As a result, it is vital that we pay attention to ventilation as
well as our body and mind condition. If the incense is for children, we can
choose the kinds that can enhance children’s attention, gastrointestinal
function or appetites. Yet, generally speaking, the incense products are for
both sexes and all the ages. In case the kids are too sensitive to the smoke of
the incense, we can substitute essense oil for incense. Or, we may also mix
natural adhesives with incense powder, such as the powder of Phoebe zhennan,
and then turn the mixure into an incense ball or pie. Finally, we can lay the
products in the air to give off their scents.
