No More Nag Champa

If you want to get the reputation of a birkenstock-wearing, patchouli-oil smelling, treehugging hippie, all you need to do is spark up the Nag Champa incense, and you’re ready to go… Not so quick, according to a new study out of Denmark. The latest evidence shows that burning incense over long periods of time raises the risk of upper respiratory cancers. When burned, incense produces particulate matter and can contain carcinogens.

I knew there was a reason this nasty stuff had me in coughing fits, gasping for air. Not to mention, does anyone really like the smell of this stuff?? If you are trying to cover a funky smell in your apartment or house, bust out the natural cleaning products, give your crib a good scrub down and ditch the incense.
