Resins and balms

High-quality grain incense from the most ancient ports of the Middle East.
Frankincense is by far the most well-known aromatic resin; it consists of the latex that oozes from the bark of various species of Boswellia (Burseracee), dried by exposure to air and sun.
Its ritual and purifying uses are lost in the mists of time.
The high quality of our incense is due to the rigorous selection of the original plantations in East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, as well as the careful selection of the packaged grains; Those that are too fine and/or dusty are discarded as they constitute the lowest-quality fraction of the harvest, as the resin is much more oxidized and altered.

Description

The biblical natural resin, now as rare as it is precious.

Myrrh
is a natural oleoresin, solidified by air and sun, exuded (through incision) from the stem of Commiphora myrrha (Burseracea), a shrub that grows up to ten meters tall and grows exclusively in East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Used medicinally since ancient times, sources dating back 3,700 years testify to its use both in perfumery and in the preparation of embalming ointments. Although its fame in the collective imagination remains linked to the Three Wise Men, this does not mean that it was used for centuries (with excellent results) as an anti-inflammatory and healing agent. The unquestionable quality of these tears of pure Red Myrrh is essentially due to the high quality of the original plantations.

Botany

Native to East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, myrrh is a shrub that grows up to ten meters tall, with sturdy, gnarled branches, aromatic leaves, and small white flowers. The trunk exudes a natural oleoresin which, when solidified, takes on the appearance of reddish-brown tears known as "myrrh gum". To increase yield, harvesters make incisions in the tree's bark.
