These granules are obtained from different gum trees, in particular the African Boswellia Papyrifera and Commiphora Myrra and the Asian Styrax Benzoin. An Orthodox-style Church resin, it uses an ancient traditional blend of aromatic resins Frankincense, Myrrh, Benzoin and Styrax. Cotton bag included with order of 2 or more resins HOW TO USE Resin incense should always be burned on charcoal tabs specifically designed for incense burning in a flame proof container. Light the charcoal tab on fire from below, some sparking will occur initially. Place the charcoal tab in the holder, then add small pieces of resin to the tab. Feel free to mix scents and continue to add resin as the charcoal burns. Do not leave burning incense unattended. This incense should not be used as a food additive or for pharmaceutical purposes. Please burn in a well ventilated space.   Ships from the Norwegian Wood studio in Los Angeles
