The thing I hate about buying incense is that your never sure if your getting the real thing or some imitation. That's why I usually prefer to burn Palo Santo wood sticks. I kind of liken their effects to three different types of effects. They have both a relaxing effect and a rejuvenating (energizing) effect, while at the same time having this "mild buzz" effect, but more like a spiritual high.
St. Boneventure wrote about Palo Santo (Lignum Vitae) in a work called "The Lignum Vitae of Saint Boneventure. That's what first caused me to be interested in them. Palo Santo also means "holy wood." They work extremely well when you feel burn out. Just light one and inhale the smoke through your nose. When you do it that way, the odor may appear a little harsh at first, but you feel great afterwards.
Also, I have to agree with the post written prior to mine in regards to Citrus Oils like Lemon and Orange. I've used both of them, and also find them both to be very rejuvenating.
