digo Herbs Benzoin Incense Resin is a superior quality grade incense that can be arousing and grounding. Creates a lovely sacred ambience.
Traditional Usage:
Gum benzoin is a major component of church incense used in Russia and other Orthodox Christian societies. This resin is also used in some
blended Japanese incense, Indian incense and Chinese incense. Benzoin is a popular Indian incense used to scent and treat hair and prevent infections.It has been
used for hundreds of years as it has a sweet balsamic vanilla-like aroma that is considered soothing and comforting. Benzoin resin is said to relieve nervous tension
and headaches and thus facilitates concentration.Quality and Manufacture:
Resin is tapped from a tree. This is done by scraping the bark and allowing the resins to bleed out and harden. These hardened resins are called
tears. Tapping is done 2 to 3 times a year with the final taps producing the best tears due to their higher aromatic chemical content. Directions
Incense resin is usually burnt on small charcoal disks. The disks need to be set in a heat resistant container for safety purposes. We recommend a purpose made incense burner that is made from brass. Safety Warning
Whenever burning incense be careful to keep it away from children and animals.
