Black Myrrh has a more herbaceous aroma, and higher bark content than Amber Golden Myrrh resin, and is therefore considered an economic grade of Myrrh.
Myrrh Gum is produced by harvesting the aromatic tree resin that excretes from cut bark of the Commiphora species, which is a tree native to desert ares in Arabia and Africa.
Myrrh has been implemented in religious ceremonies, temples and churches for thousands of years, to enhance spiritual experiences.
To burn the sacred incense, fill a fire proof vessel with sand. A metal or soapstone bowl is preferable.
Light a quick-light charcoal tablet by holding it over a candle flame with a pair of tongs. This is best done outside, or in a well ventilated area such an near an open window, as the charcoal is treated with lighter fluid, which exudes fumes during the lightening process.
Once enough amber glow has developed, place burning charcoal onto sand bed and fan until charcoal is fully light. A large feather is a traditional fanning tool, but any other fanning method will suffice. Use tongs to place incense onto burning charcoal.
*******************************
Never leave burning charcoal, resin or candle unattended. Keep vessel on fire proof surface during the incense burning ritual.
Use sand to extinguish the charcoal or burning resin.
Do not throw incense into fireplace/wood burning stove, as the precious, fragrant smoke will escape unnoticed together with the wood smoke.
Do not use BBQ charcoal for incense burning.
