Benzoin of Sumatra - Incense Resin - 4 Ounce
Benzoin is a common ingredient in incense-making and perfumery because of its sweet vanilla-like aroma and fixative properties. Benzoin of Sumatra is obtained from Styrax Benzoin, which grows predominantly on the island of Sumatra. Benzoin is also used clinically as a mild antiseptic agent in over-the-counter products to clean sores, cuts, wounds, and skin abrasions as tincture of benzoin, or benzoin in a solution of alcohol. Benefits: Healing, energizing, uplifting, stimulating. Benzoin is burned for purification, astral projection, clears negative energy, emotional balance, eases sadness, depression, weariness, grief, anger, anxiety and to attract prosperity. The best way I burn any resin incense is on a charcoal tablet in a heat safe container such as a cast iron cauldron or a soapstone burner. This resin is a material that is beautiful according to all senses and standards.
Benzoin has been used for hundreds if not thousands of years in incense formulas and skincare products. It has a transformative effect when blended with other resins and aromatic materials in incense blends. it has been a favourite ingredient in church incense second only to Frankincense. It is a staple of Amber accords. Benzoin is traditional medicine in many cultures. It is used as an expectorant and wound healer. Like many other tree resins, Benzoin has an affinity with the skin and is used to address issues of dry, chafed, chapped, cracked and rough skin, nipples and heels. It is one of the ingredients in Friars Balsam which is a compound tincture used internally for coughs and respiratory irritations and used externally for small wounds.
