神、魂、志、魄、精〉互相關聯;彼此之間具有相生相剋的關係,所以就會幫助身體恢復原本的和諧、平衡與活力機能。

incense is made up of many kinds of Chinese herbs, which can smoothen our nadi
systems and chase away filthy or bad energy. As we appreciate the scents of
incense, the properties of the incense act on our five organs (heart, liver,
spleen, lungs, and kidneys), five features (tongue, eyes, mouth, nose, and
ears), five emotions (joy, anger, sorrow, sadness, and fear), and five elements
(moods and spirit). These properties reinforce and counteract one another;
therefore, smelling incense helps our body restore the harmony and balance of
all the body parts.
