Natural Frankincense and Myrrh

£5.70

Frankincense & Myrrh are known for their use in incense and ancient rituals, and were represented the one of most valuable gifts you can give alongside gold.  When burned, frankincense gives off a sweet, citrusy scent while myrrh balances it with a piney, bitter odour. The aroma is considered to be cleansing and relaxing.

Both frankincense and myrrh are derived from the gummy sap that oozes out of the Boswellia and Commiphora trees, respectively, when their bark is cut. The leaking resin is allowed to harden and scraped off the trunk in tear-shaped droplets; it may then be used in its dried form or steamed to yield essential oils.

Produced by Hambleden Herbs.

Net weight 2 x 20g
