EN: Incense; Fumigant
This is the OG air freshener of your lola. Before Glade or Febreze, there was **pansuob**. It's that smoky stuff used to drive away bad vibes, bad spirits, and sometimes, even bad mosquitoes. Think of it as spiritual pest control or aromatherapy with a dash of folk belief.
From `pan-` (instrumental prefix) + `suob` (to fumigate, to burn incense).
Often used in traditional healing, religious rituals, or simply to cleanse a space. The smoke is believed to have purifying properties.
