Resin varieties
Available variants include: Amber Resin — Warm, intoxicatingly sweet, sometimes called 'Nectar of the Gods.' Used in many traditions for meditation, balance, and as a sacred temple aromatic.

Strong, slightly sweet, distinctive. Frankincense — The resin of Boswellia sacra, used as incense across Egypt, Arabia, Greece, Rome, and the Middle East for over five thousand years. One of the three gifts of the Magi. Bright, lemony, balsamic. Myrrh — The dried sap of Commiphora trees from Ethiopia and Somalia. Smoky, earthy, balsamic. Used in Egyptian embalming, Roman temple practice, and Christian liturgical tradition. Gum Arabic — Originating in Kenya, with a dusty golden-brown appearance. Acacia senegal.

Care & safety
Always smudge in a well-ventilated space. Place the smouldering bundle on a heat-safe surface — abalone shell, ceramic bowl, or stone — to catch ash and embers. Never leave a burning bundle unattended. Keep away from curtains, paper, pets, and anything flammable. To extinguish, gently press the lit end into sand, ash, or a stone surface. Charcoal discs reach very high temperatures — handle with tongs only. Place in a sand-filled, heat-safe burner.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Keep sealed if possible to preserve the aromatic oils.
