In serious cases, it may even cause miscarriage, which is extremely terrible. Moreover, it is not suitable for people who have just undergone surgery to burn incense, because they have blood energy in their bodies, which may conflict with or blaspheme the gods, which is very bad. When burning incense, you must maintain a pious heart and not be half-believing and half-doubting. Only with firm faith can you achieve your wishes and receive the blessing of the gods.
