Would a good HEPA air purifying system work?  I"ve found that with the 
ultra allergen filters from 3-M and leaving the fan on on my HVAC, I 
have no longer needed an air purifier (but I do not have asthma). We 
also use good filters in the commonhouse but do not leave the fan on. 
When we are preparing for a meeting I go in and turn it on for a few 
hours to clear the air. I would think the candle and incense burners 
could do the same thing.
