# How to Use Nag Champa
Nag Champa is a very popular and widely used type of incense. Though "Nag Champa" is a name brand that distributes and sells this and other types of incense, the scent it creates can be found in a much broader array of products. Nag Champa incense derives its aroma from the Champa, or Plumeria tree and its flowers. This type of incense is used by allowing the stick to smolder, which produces the well known aromatic smoke.
