Incense in grains / Betekristian Ethiopian incense / 35 gr.

Frankincense is solidified resin from the secretions of plants of the Burseraceae family. In Ethiopia two genera are found, the Boswellia and the Commiphora.
The collection of the resin takes place between September and June, through the practice of a thin incision on the trunk of the plant, which begins to exude a sort of latex. After about a month the gum resin is hard enough to be collected. Incense is used for both religious and healing purposes. Our resins are pure and untreated, and the scent they give off, once melted, is the result of the volatile elements (torpenes) present, which differ in type and quantity in each type of resin.
BETEKRISTIAN (Boswellia papyriphera): The B. papyriphera grows mainly in northern Ethiopia. The resin it produces, obtained by incision of the bark, is the incense burned during the religious functions of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. It is traditionally used for its antiseptic and antibacterial properties. FRAGRANCE: CITRUS. HOW TO USE IT: To release its natural scent, the resin must be melted over a heat source. We recommend two methods of use: CHARCOAL: Light a charcoal and deposit a small quantity of resin on it. Intense and smoky effect. DIFFUSER FOR ESSENTIAL OILS: place an aluminum film on the diffuser plate and turn on the t-light. After a few minutes it will begin to melt and give off its fragrance. Change the film after about an hour by replacing the resin. Soft, non-smoky effect.
