Uses
The burning of Frankincense facilitates meditation as it cleanses the entrance to the spiritual realm, and has been used by many different cultures throughout history, and has been traded in North Africa for over 5000 years.
The warm, balsamic, pleasant aroma of Frankincense is reputed to relieve stress and tension, to repel insects, alleviate depression, and to deodorize a room.
Habitat
Omani Frankincense is harvested from small, deciduous trees that grows individually on rocky mountain slopes.
The Frankincense tree bark has a papery texture, and when cut, exudes resin to heal the wound. The resin hardens on the tree bark, and forms Frankincense tears.
Frankincense trees are not cultivated.
Demand for Frankincense resin exceeds the supply that existing wild trees can provide, making these tears a precious botanical resource.
Instructions
Light a quick-light charcoal tablet by holding it over a candle flame with a pair of tongs, 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. 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.
Frankincense resin can also be burned in an electric incense burner.
