Incense Smudging with Frankincense and Local Resins

This book invites you to discover the healing and soul-soothing effects of pure natural resins – whether for modern rituals, house smudging, or scenting rooms. Incense experts Christine Fuchs and Caroline Maxelon present 30 types of frankincense and 20 native resins, explaining their specific characteristics and effects. Unique to this book is the categorization of 30 frankincense varieties, both commercially available and rare, distinguishing between botanical species, country of harvest, quality grade, as well as scent and effect. In addition, a clear table provides an overview of all frankincense varieties by common name, country of origin, and special features. The frankincense varieties are assigned to their country of origin on a country overview map. The 6 book flaps provide information on collecting and harvesting resins, useful tools, tips for storage, and distinguishing them from church incense, using numerous photos. The book also contains 34 recipes for frankincense and native tree resins with herbs and woods for a wide variety of smudging effects and occasions.
