🌿 Description

Sacred and ancient, Frankincense and Myrrh are resins born of the desert — used for over 5,000 years in medicine, ritual, and spiritual cleansing.
In the Caribbean, this sacred burning blend took on an added layer of wisdom: elders prepared it as a soothing digestive drink to calm the stomach, ease nausea, and clear the body of impurities.

Together, they form a perfect balance — Frankincense, bright and uplifting, supports digestion and inflammation relief; Myrrh, earthy and resinous, cleanses and strengthens the gut and blood.
Burned, they purify the air and spirit; brewed, they ground and restore the body.

🍵 Dried Herb (Resin) Uses

As a digestive, cleansing, and spiritual tonic:

• Stomach Soother: Traditionally used in small doses for gas, nausea, or upset stomach.
• Anti-inflammatory: Supports healthy digestion and joint comfort.
• Immune Support: Helps cleanse the body and purify the blood.
• Emotional Centering: Uplifts the spirit and calms anxiety or heaviness.

Directions (Internal Use):
Only use food-grade Frankincense and Myrrh resin.

• Crush a small pea-sized piece (¼ tsp total) and steep in 8 oz of hot water for 10–15 minutes.
• Strain well before drinking.
• Drink no more than 1 cup daily for short-term use.

For best results, pair with Ginger, Anise, or Peppermint to enhance digestive relief.

🌼 Harvest & Sourcing

Our Frankincense (Boswellia carterii) and Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) are ethically harvested from wild trees in Somalia and Oman, hand-collected as the resin hardens naturally from the bark.
Only edible-grade resins are selected, carefully cleaned, and sun-dried to maintain purity, fragrance, and potency.

⚖️ Energetics & Taste

• Taste: Frankincense – piney and slightly citrusy; Myrrh – bitter and earthy.
• Energetic profile: Warming, drying, cleansing, and uplifting.
• Pairs well with: Ginger, Cinnamon, Anise, and Fennel.

⚠️ Warnings

• Use only edible-grade resins; burning resin is not safe for ingestion.
• Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Do not exceed small amounts — both resins are potent bitters.
• Those with bleeding disorders or blood-thinning medication should use caution.

🌻 A Note from the Herbalist

Frankincense and Myrrh are more than resins — they are messengers of light and earth.
Burned, they sanctify; brewed, they heal.
From temples to Caribbean kitchens, they have traveled through time carrying the same truth: purity is power — within and without.
