    Paaso was a Filipino tradition from the Visayas and Mindanao regions where sweet-smelling herbs or incense would be burned to appease spirits and bring good luck and well-being to families. The burning pile of herbs or incense was typically placed in front of graves or tombs, and visitors to graves were expected to pass through the smoke before leaving the graveyard as the smoke was believed to untangle spirits of the dead from the living.

    Paaso
    This is a practice commonly done in the Visayas and Mindanao. Paaso is the
    ritual of burning sweet-smelling herbs or incense which supposedly appeases
    the spirits. This brings good luck and well-being to the family. The pile of
    herbs or incense is often burned in front of the grave or tomb. Some use
    grass, just so to produce smoke. Those who visit the grave must pass by the
    smoke before leaving the graveyard. Passing through smoke while still within
    the cemetery or by the gates of the cemetery is also said to untangle the
    spirits of the dead from the bodies of the living.
