What is Incense Resin?

Incense resin refers to the aromatic sap or gum harvested from various trees, shrubs, and plants, which is dried and used as a raw material for making incense. Unlike processed incense sticks or cones, incense resin is in its natural, unprocessed form and typically comes in the shape of hardened droplets, tears, or chunks.

Botanical Sources

Incense resin can be sourced from a wide range of botanical species, including trees such as frankincense (Boswellia spp.), myrrh (Commiphora spp.), copal (various genera), benzoin (Styrax spp.), and Palo Santo (Bursera graveolens), among others. Each botanical source imparts its own unique fragrance, properties, and symbolism to the resulting incense.

Harvesting and Extraction

The process of harvesting incense resin typically involves making small incisions or cuts in the bark of the tree or plant, allowing the aromatic sap to ooze out and form droplets or tears. This process is usually done by hand and requires careful timing and skill to ensure the sustainability of the botanical source. Once collected, the resin is left to dry and harden naturally, after which it is ready for use.

Aromatic Properties

Incense resin is prized for its aromatic properties, which vary depending on the botanical source. The resin releases fragrant smoke when burned, filling the air with a rich, complex aroma that can evoke feelings of relaxation, meditation, and spiritual connection. Each type of resin has its own distinct scent profile, ranging from sweet and floral to woody, earthy, or balsamic.
