Incense Arrayan

Arrayan (Myrcianthes sp) leaves, from the Peruvian rainforest, are highly prized for their medicinal and aromatic properties and are traditionally used as an incense during Ayahuasca rituals. The fragrance of Arrayan is vibrant, inspiring & strengthening.

The arrayan shrub has a distinctive smooth, reddish-brown, flaking bark and produces small, bright white, fragrant flowers with long, graceful stamens during the spring and early summer.

Usage

One of the easiest methods of burning is to light a piece of shisha coal in a suitable incense holder and let it heat up. Once the coal is hot, all you need to do is put as much incense as you want on top of the coal. It will begin smoking almost immediately and melt into the coal. You can continue burning incense as long as the coal remains hot. If you want it to burn longer, simply place another piece of coal into the burning container with the others. It’s a wonderful way to greet guests for gatherings by burning some on your porch next to the entry door, or any place you want to set a special mood. The fragrance is very strong either burning or unlit.
