You may have heard about resin and its mystique. It is really an original, mysterious incense, which comes from refined tree and plant sap and has been used all over the world for thousands of years. The aromas produced by myrrh, frankincense, benzoin or guggal resins are deep and rich, the smoky fragrance produced by burning resin on charcoal disks is quite unique and amazingly evocative.

How to burn incense resin: Light the charcoal and place it in your incense holder. Hold the charcoal with tongs. The charcoal will then self-ignite across the surface. When the charcoal starts to go grey around the edges this is the time to add resin.
