The character of Ethiopian myrrh
Myrrh is one of the oldest ceremonial resins and traditions have long mentioned it in a special light. This pack contains myrrh of Ethiopian origin, whose character is deep, slightly earthy, balsamic and rich in long fade-out. You will feel its full depth when you burn it slowly, with patience, and let its subtle nuances unfold.
How to bring out the myrrh character
Place a self-igniting charcoal disc in a heat-resistant censer, ideally on a layer of sand. Light its edge and wait until the whole surface glows evenly. Add a few grains of myrrh resin and watch them start to melt. The aroma is more pronounced at first, then fills the space with a long, soft fade. Start with a small amount and expand it according to your experience.
When it can help the most
It suits quiet, inward-turning moments, mourning, remembrance or a longer meditation session. You will also find it a useful companion before a ceremonial or festive gathering when you wish to give the space a deeper, ancient tone. The 500 g pack ensures that myrrh is always at hand when you devote an important moment to it.
Storage for long shelf life
Store the myrrh in a well-sealed glass jar or metal tin in a cool, dark place. The aroma can keep for up to three years. Keep it away from heaters and direct sunlight, and safely out of reach of children and pets. Keep the charcoal discs separately in a dry box so they always light easily.
The longer-term experience
Through regular burning of myrrh a deep, quiet bond can form between you and this traditional resin. Many users say that in moments calling for silence the memory of myrrh feels close at hand. You will be choosing a classic companion whose aroma stays faithful even as fashions change a thousand times around us.
