### Instructions for use - how to burn incense
On carbon: Put the quick-lighting carbon in a fireproof container with sand, light it and add a piece of resin. This method is most effective for a quick energetic cleanse, though it produces more smoke and requires ventilation.
On a censer with a mesh screen: The use of special sticks ensures a gentler and longer heating, ideal for meditation or smaller spaces. After burning, remove the resin residue from the sieve with a brush or in warm water.
In an electric incense burner: A convenient, modern, and safe way to burn incense, designed to prevent thick, overpowering smoke. The incense burner is portable and ensures that the incense blends do not burn out.
For a purer fragrance, we recommend using a mica plate (a thin sheet of mica), which prevents burnt notes and ensures a gentler, longer-lasting scent.
Larger beans can be lightly crushed in a mortar to release the aroma more quickly.
### Safety notice
Always use a non-flammable container and keep it out of the reach of children and animals.
Do not leave the fire unattended.
Take care of ventilation.
Do not breathe smoke at close range.
Those sensitive to smoke or who are pregnant should burn incense in moderation.
### Resin or essential oil?
Resins and essential oils have some common effects, but they differ in many ways.
Incense blends natural resins, herbs, woods, and spices, releasing their aroma through charcoal, a censer, or an incense burner, while essential oils capture the pure essence of plants, filling the air or nurturing the skin when carefully applied.
Unlike essential oils, incense offers an authentic, ‘living’ fragrance with smoky and woody notes, delivering a swift and powerful energetic cleansing of your space while enhancing rituals, meditation, women's circles, and ceremonies.
Choose essential oils when you desire a subtle, long-lasting fragrance for your home or workspace, along with the benefits of aromatherapy Incense is perfect for powerful cleansing, sacred moments, meditation, rituals, and ceremonial practices.
### Zanzibar Copal
The resin known as Zanzibar copal is obtained from the tree //Hymenaea verrucosa//. It originates from the coast of East Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, Somalia) and adjacent areas of the Indian Ocean (Zanzibar, Madagascar, Seychelles, Mauritius).
Archaeological findings at Unguja Ukuu in Zanzibar show that the Copal has been in use here since the 7th-8th centuries. It has been used for ceremonial and ritual purposes and as a raw ingredient in traditional medicine.
In the 18th-19th centuries, East African copal was a key raw ingredient for the production of high quality lacquers for furniture, carriages and later even wagons.
Its smoke is balmy, rich and clean.
