Myrrh Resin

Description

In ancient Egypt, Myrrh was burnt as an offering to the Sun-God Ra as the midday sun. It was also burnt in temples of Isis, while in Greece it was considered sacred to Adonis. Today it is usually used as an ingredient of protection and healing incense. Because of its pungent scent it is rarely burnt on its own. Myrrh increases the potency of any incense blend to which it is added. Genuine natural Myrrh. Available 60, 120 or 250g.
