Product information
Sacred Plants Myrrh resin incense is made of the resin from the Commiphora Myrrha shrub, native to eastern Mediterranean countries, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Yemen, and South Arabia. The aroma of Myrrh can be described as rich, warm, spicy, earthy and woody.
Myrrh has a long history that extends far beyond the Bible, which refers to Myrrh several times. The ancient Egyptians, as well as the Greek and Romans, used it for embalming rituals and funerals. It was also used for magic spells, as Myrrh was believed to be a tool to communicate with the Gods.
In ancient times, Myrrh was also a popular ingredient for perfume. It was considered a valuable luxury item, often worth more than its weight in gold.
In aromatherapy, Myrrh is used as an aid in meditation. The rich, warm aroma of the resin is considered to be calming to the mind and soul, and strengthening on an emotional level.
One package contains 35 g of Myrrh resin incense.
How to use Myrrh resin incense
To burn resin incense, you need a heat-proof bowl (some people put sand in it to absorb the heat), a lighter or match, tongs and a charcoal briquet.
- Ignite the charcoal briquet with the lighter or match. It's important to hold the briquet with a tool (like tongs or pliers) and not with your fingers, unless you want to be in tremendous pain.
- Put the briquet in the bowl, and wait until it turns white around the edges (this takes a couple of minutes).
- Carefully put a little bit of resin on top of the briquet.
- Now sit and wait for your pure aromatic bliss.
WARNING
Only use Myrrh resin as incense. It is not meant for consumption.
