Do you want to bring a touch of tradition into your safe space and open
yourself to an intimate experience of purification and meditation?
Light a piece of myrrh resin — one of the oldest incenses ever used. Its
dense, balsamic-spicy aroma brings a sense of depth and inner
calm, purifies the air in the room, and opens the way to peace and
concentration.
Enjoy it during meditation or prayer, as it helps calm the
mind, enhance concentration, and create a spiritual and ceremonial atmosphere.
It will wash away feelings of stress, nervousness and anxiety, thought overload
and emotional exhaustion. It will harmonise your feminine
side.
Its smoke will enrich your space with a sense of
sacredness — on an ordinary day, during a ritual, or whenever you
seek stillness and reconnection with yourself. Traditionally, it is used for
both symbolic and practical purification of rooms, clothing,
and vessels — to eliminate unwanted odours and repel insects.
Let yourself be enveloped by the aroma of our 100% pure and natural
resin — free from binders and added fragrance, yet rich in a
tradition spanning thousands of years.
Pregnant women should avoid excessive exposure to it as it can circulate
blood in the pelvic area.

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: Specially designed censers
ensure a gentler, longer-lasting burn, perfect 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 heating method that prevents the formation of unpleasantly dense smoke. The
incense burner is portable and ensures that the incense blends do not
burn out.
Burning 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.
- Ensure proper ventilation.
- Do not inhale the smoke directly.
- People sensitive to smoke or pregnant women should use incense
sparingly.
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.
Millennia-old Myrrh
Classic myrrh comes from the thorny shrub or small tree Commiphora
myrrha, which grows in the dry regions of the Horn of Africa (Somalia,
Ethiopia, Kenya) and the Arabian Peninsula. When the bark is wounded,
resin seeps out and hardens in the air into solid, partially
translucent “tears.”
The history of myrrh dates back thousands of years. In
ancient Egypt it played an important role in ceremonies, medicine and embalming.
Its inclusion among the gifts brought by the three wise men to the infant Jesus
shows how highly valued it was.
In its region of origin, it remains an inseparable part of family rituals,
celebrations and coffee ceremonies, prayers, and everyday hygiene practices. In
the modern world, it is also used for oral care, in cosmetic products for mature
and dry skin, and as a fragrance fixative in perfumes.
Myrrh is considered a resin with feminine energy, and is
therefore used in rituals associated with femininity, often at night. It is the
counterpart of incense, which carries masculine energy.
