Author: Incense from India

A resiny frankincense and myrrh blend.

FRANKINCENSE is said to fall under the astrological sign of Leo which is ruled by the sun. For this reason frankincense is favored for combating depression, melancholy, confusion, and irritability. Its essence invokes vitality and a sunny disposition in its user. In ancient times, Hebrews, Greeks, and the Romans used frankincense in their religious ceremonies. Its name comes from the French words, franc, meaning pure, and encens, meaning to burn. The Bible recounts the story of the three wisemen who brought this 'pure incense' to baby Jesus.

MYRRH is another of the fragrances offered to baby Jesus by the three wisemen. The ancient Egyptians burned myrrh as part of their noon sun worshiping ritual. Myrrh produces a very high spiritual vibration conducive for prayer and meditation and also aids in healing, protection, and brings peace of mind.
