Resin Incense- Frankincense and Myrrh- 2 oz

Description

***New Larger bottle!! Four ounce bottle- approx 2 ounces of resin incense!!!******

Frankincense is tapped from the very scraggly but hardy Boswellia tree through scraping the bark and allowing the exuded resins to bleed out and harden. These hardened resins are called tears.

Olibanum is characterized by a balsamic-spicy, slightly lemon and typical fragrance of incense, with a slightly conifer-like undertone. It is not only in the perfume industry, and often like to use, but is also found in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Used to embalm the bodies of the Egyptian Pharaohs, this tree resin is considered to cleanse and protect the soul.

Myrrh resin is dark brown in colour, a bit like caramel, and when burnt it produces an earthy, almost pine-like scent.

It's well known for its grounding and calming properties. It's great, for example, to burn if you feel like you need to get your feet solidly back on the ground or need to remain firmly grounded whilst providing healing for others.

It's also believed to have sensuous properties, and was often burnt along with other substances, such as benzoin, aloe and sandalwood, as a way of enhancing this.
