Instructions for use – how to burn incense
On carbon: Put the quick-lighting carbon in a fireproof
container with sand, light it and add a piece of resin. This method is most
effective for a quick energetic cleanse, though it produces more smoke and
requires ventilation.
On a censer with a mesh screen: The use of special sticks
ensures a gentler and longer heating, ideal for meditation or smaller spaces.
After burning, remove the resin residue from the sieve with a brush or in
warm water.
In an electric incense burner: A convenient, modern, and
safe way to burn incense, designed to prevent thick, overpowering smoke. The
incense burner is portable and ensures that the incense blends do not
burn out.
Burning incense tips
For a purer fragrance, we recommend using a mica plate (a
thin sheet of mica), which prevents burnt notes and ensures a gentler,
longer-lasting scent.
Larger beans can be lightly crushed in a mortar to release the aroma more
quickly.
Safety notice
Always use a non-flammable container and keep it out of the reach of children
and animals. Do not leave the fire unattended. Take care of ventilation. Do not
breathe smoke at close range. Those sensitive to smoke or who are pregnant
should burn incense in moderation.
Resin or essential oil?
Resins and essential oils have some common effects, but they differ in
many ways.
Incense blends natural resins, herbs, woods, and spices,
releasing their aroma through charcoal, a censer, or an incense burner, while
essential oils capture the pure essence of plants, filling the
air or nurturing the skin when carefully applied.
Unlike essential oils, incense offers an authentic, ‘living’
fragrance with smoky and woody notes, delivering a swift and powerful
energetic cleansing of your space while enhancing
rituals, meditation, women's circles, and ceremonies.
Choose essential oils when you desire a subtle, long-lasting
fragrance for your home or workspace, along with the benefits of aromatherapy
Incense is perfect for powerful cleansing, sacred moments,
meditation, rituals, and ceremonial practices.
Zanzibar Copal
The resin known as Zanzibar copal is obtained from the tree Hymenaea
verrucosa. It originates from the coast of East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya,
Mozambique, Somalia) and adjacent areas of the Indian Ocean (Zanzibar,
Madagascar, Seychelles, Mauritius).
Archaeological findings at Unguja Ukuu in Zanzibar show that the
Copal has been in use here since the 7th-8th centuries. It has
been used for ceremonial and ritual purposes and as a raw ingredient in
traditional medicine.
In the 18th-19th centuries, East African copal was a key raw ingredient for
the production of high quality lacquers for furniture, carriages and later even
wagons.
Its smoke is balmy, rich and clean.
