Description
Spring Sale-20% off for a limited time only! Premium quality pure and fresh Asafoetida resin. Afghanistan.
Also known as “Devil’s Dung and Hing,
This is the real deal. Fresh, pure and unadulterated. A little bit goes a long long way!
For the past few decades, I have only found processed Asafoetida on the market, usually, blended with gum Arabic or rice flour and other materials.
It is rare to find this quality of fresh, pure unadulterated Asafoetida and to have an opportunity to work with the pure material right from the plant. I don’t know if I can get a consistent supply of this resin, so I suggest you get it while I have it.
The aroma of Asafoetida is extremely pungent and strong and for this reason, it is shipped in airtight tins. It is often compared in aroma to a blend of sulphur and onions, However. Asafoetida has a much more complex and rich fragrance profile. In perfume, incense, medicine and magic, only a very small amount is needed. I have to point out here that the essential oil of Asafoetida is drab and non-descript compared to the fresh resin and does not do the plant justice. I imagine a tincture of the resin could deliver much more to a perfume blend.
“Ferula asafoetida is a herbaceous plant of the Umbelliferae family. It is oleo gum resin obtained from the rhizome and root of the plant. This spice is used as a digestive aid, in food as a condiment and in pickles. It is used in modern herbalism in the treatment of hysteria, some nervous conditions, bronchitis, asthma and whooping cough. It was at one time employed in the treatment of infantile pneumonia and flatulent colic. The gum resin is antispasmodic, carminative, expectorant, laxative, and sedative. The volatile oil in the gum is eliminated through the lungs, making this an excellent treatment for asthma. The odour of asafoetida is imparted to the breath, secretions, flatus, and gastric eructations. Its properties are antispasmodic, expectorant, stimulant, emmenagogue and vermifuge. Asafoetida has also been used as a sedative. It also thins the blood and lowers blood pressure. It is widely used in India in food and as a medicine in Indian systems of medicine like Ayurveda. Asafoetida has been held in great esteem among indigenous medicines, particularly in the Unani system from the earliest times.”
The preceding paragraph is an excerpt from an excellent article about Asafoetida on NCBI. Rather than repeat or rehash what is already presented so well, I suggest you read the full article here-www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3459456/ (You may have to copy and paste the link in your browser.
In Folk Magic traditions, Asafoetida is considered a powerful protective and banishing herb often used in magical incense blends and protective amulets. It is hot in nature and I believe ruled by Mars/Pluto/Scorpio from an Astrological point of view.
It is considered an aphrodisiac in some cultures and used to boost the libido.

This is very good Asafoetida; in fact, it's the best I have ever come across. It's very pungent and it smells very similar to crushed alliums, but with the distinctive "je ne sais quois' that only Asafoetida provides.

I didn’t know this resin existed until in the last 6 months.
I’ve heard stories this resin smells nasty, like onions, sulfur, or feces.
Now, because I know this shop’s quality of items is superior beyond comprehension (in my personal opinion), I will be willing to try this out.
It’s going to be interesting when I burn this on a charcoal puck. (In a positive way, that is).
🙂

Excellent incense. Beautiful quality, as always. I would buy more often, if not for the expensive shipping cost to Europe.

As of late I have been moved to purchase several items that I have not ever been acquainted with. This is one of those. It smells strong and kind of onion/garlic pungent. It has a positive energy to it, so that’s good.

The form of this Asafoetida is the best I have found in many years. Crushed and powders fall short of this lump which is working so well with making incense burns mixed with a few favorite herbs. Thank you for the quick delivery.

The shipping was shaky because of the issues of the world. The product is great as I remember it from when I became a first time dad. He answered my questions right a way. I’m very happy overall. Thanks again

My second purchase of Asafoetida. Very fragrant and both appealing and repulsive. A contradiction in appreciation.
