To save time I fold a large rectangle of foil repeatedly till I have a square of about 3 inches wide, then cut out a circle.  Every time I place a new incense material in the heater, I peel off another disc from the foil and press it into the heating tray, so it forms a little bowl keeping hot liquid resins within it. Be mindful that the tray is very hot when the heater is on, and do not press the foil into the tray with your fingers when it is hot! I use the tongs and the incense spoon to set the foil into the bowl-shaped tray. Precut foil squares, rounds and foil cups are available on Amazon and eBay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteel or aluminum cupcake forms work perfectly as an alternative to the supplied incense tray and can be purchased inexpensively online.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectric incense heaters offer another valuable feature in that you can \"pause\" your incense burning and continue burning the same piece or a different material at a future time. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHERMOSTAT- Incense and aromatic material will benefit from experimentation and exploration on the heater. With many compounded incenses, one can set the thermostat at 180 degrees and slowly raise it as different notes fill the air. Exotic materials like Ambergris, Agarwood and delicate botanicals like Rose petals or Cedar tips might benefit from even lower temperatures.  I burn most resins at around 180-300 degrees. With a little practice, you will discover the best temperatures for each aromatic in your collection and make every piece

Resin Absolute of Commiphora Kua, also called Scented, Perfumed or Sweet Myrrh from Somalia. This is an artisan-created, small-batch production. Mainstream Absolutes are produced in vast quantities in factories that often span city blocks. I can only prepare a small amount of each extract in my little studio. I like to think the quality of my products outshines that of the commercial extracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKua Myrrh Absolute is a Honey thick, crystal clear pourable, but viscous liquid. It has a sweet, Myrrh-like heart but lacks Myrrh's usual bitterness. Instead one finds layers of herbs, sweets and honey. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kua Myrrh tree grows in Yemen, Socotra Island, and Northern Kenya.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Myrrh types are under the rulership of the Moon in Astrology and are associated with the feminine principle—yin energy. Myrrh is rooted in the Semitic word \"Mar,\" meaning bitter. This is the source of the names Mary, Maria and Miriam, all of which come from the root Mar-Yam, which means the bitterness or salt of the sea. Our words, Marine, Maritime, Mer and Mar all refer to bodies of water, while the name \"Aphrodite means \"She that is risen from the froth of the sea.\"—There is lots of beautiful feminine energy in the Myrrh family of resins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso called a resin absolute, Kua Myrrh Absolute was created by macerating the fresh resin in food-grade alcohol, then filtering to remove all the non-aromatic and water-soluble gum. I then evaporated the alcohol in a vacuum at a very low temperature to produce a thick, aromatically concentrated essence of Commiphora Erythraea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKua Myrrh Absolute is ideal for perfume-making, formulating and incense-making, where it acts as a fixative in blends and delivers the full spectrum of the aroma of the resin and the essential oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is collected sustainably in Yemen and Kenya from natural exudates, and the trees are not tapped or harmed. These trees do not respond to tapping, which makes the resin naturally sustainable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Commiphora Guidotti lends a fresh, vibrant top note to aromatic blends, C. Kua has a deep, sensuous nature with no corners or sharp edges. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince all water-soluble gum has been removed from this product, it burns cleanly on the charcoal without any of the secondary Charred aromas that raw frankincense and myrrh deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a semi-liquid, Kua Myrrh Absolute can be used as a binder in incense blends.

I keep the percentage of essential oils to around 2% by weight to avoid skin reactions in those with sensitivities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePine resin is likely the most used resin for incense and therapeutic applications since it is readily available around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the skin, an infusion of Pine resin in a carrier oil stimulates surface blood flow, helps ease breathing, facilitates the movement of phlegm, acts as an anti-inflammatory and eases joint and muscle pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will find tutorials for creating cosmetic and therapeutic products non my blog, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/apothecarysgarden.com\/blogs\/blog\" title=\"Apothecary's Garden Blog\"\u003ehttps:\/\/apothecarysgarden.com\/blogs\/blog.\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs mentioned in my recipes, you must first warm Pine Resin in a water bath, with or without vegetable oil, (or animal fat), then filter it from debris and non-dissolving particles.

Either way, this is a very unusual Frankincense essential oil!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI am often asked which is the strongest-smelling Frankincense type. Frankincense Occulta essential oil rivals Frankincense Frereana essential oil in strength of aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unique and distinct aroma of Frankincense Occulta essential oil makes it a must-have for anyone who appreciates the diversity and magic of Frankincense resins and essential oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eFrankincense Occulta-Boswellia occulta\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrankincense Occulta is a new Frankincense species. It was officially discovered in 2019 in the Ceel Ufeyn area of northern Somalia\/Somaliland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrankincense Occulta is a very different tree from its neighbours the Frankincense carterii trees. Historically, Frankincense Occulta resin has always been mixed in with the local Frankincense Carterii and is considered by locals to be the same tree. The name \"Occulta \" comes from the Latin Occultus, meaning \"Hidden. Though this species has been present as long as any other Frankincense species and is an important commercial crop locally, it remained hidden from the view of botanists till recently. Hence the name-Occulta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts simple leaves look different from most other Frankincense species, and Frankincense Occulta oleoresin has a chemical composition that is very different from that of all other known Frankincense species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis difference is most evident in the aroma and taste of Frankincense Occulta. Unlike most other Frankincense essential oils that contain a predominance of alpha-Pinene, (An aroma we are familiar with in all Pine trees),  B. Occulta essential oil leads with a high percentage of methyl ethers, in particular, 1-methoxydecane and 1-methoxyoctane which is really unusual and unexpected from a Frankincense type. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information on this unusual species see the following links-\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/aromaticplant.org\/assets\/26725-21295-1-pb.pdf\u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/1934578X19866307\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials: Boswellia occulta, Frankincense Occulta essential oil.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-06-27T11:28:11-04:00","created_at":"2025-05-09T09:04:07-04:00","updated_at":"2026-09-15T12:00:51-04:00","vendor":"Apothecary's Garden","product_type":"Essential Oils","tags":["Artisan Distilled","Boswellia Occulta","Essential Oil","Frankincense","Frankincense essential oil","Frankincense Occulta","Frankincense Oil","Natural Perfume","Occulta essential oil","Perfume","Perfume ingredients"],"variants":[{"id":41779629785222,"title":"1","option1":"1","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"747-OCCULTAEO-1","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"price":"9.00","grams":0,"compare_at_price":null,"position":1,"product_id":7389026680966,"created_at":"2025-05-09T09:04:07-04:00","updated_at":"2026-09-15T12:00:51-04:00"},{"id":41779629817990,"title":"5","option1":"5","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"747-OCCULTAEO-5","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"price":"32.00","grams":0,"compare_at_price":null,"position":2,"product_id":7389026680966,"created_at":"2025-05-09T09:04:07-04:00","updated_at":"2026-09-15T12:00:51-04:00"},{"id":41779629850758,"title":"10","option1":"10","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"747-OCCULTAEO-10","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"price":"58.01","grams":0,"compare_at_price":null,"position":3,"product_id":7389026680966,"created_at":"2025-05-09T09:04:07-04:00","updated_at":"2026-09-15T12:00:51-04:00"},{"id":41779629883526,"title":"30","option1":"30","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"747-OCCULTAEO-30","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"price":"112.00","grams":0,"compare_at_price":null,"position":4,"product_id":7389026680966,"created_at":"2025-05-09T09:04:07-04:00","updated_at":"2026-09-15T12:00:51-04:00"},{"id":41779629916294,"title":"100","option1":"100","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"747-OCCULTAEO-100","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"price":"275.00","grams":0,"compare_at_price":null,"position":5,"product_id":7389026680966,"created_at":"2025-05-09T09:04:07-04:00","updated_at":"2026-09-15T12:00:51-04:00"}],"images":[{"id":35676755787910,"created_at":"2023-12-01T14:59:23-05:00","position":1,"updated_at":"2025-06-27T11:27:24-04:00","product_id":7389026680966,"variant_ids":[],"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1464\/8794\/files\/Frankincense-Occulta-essential-oil.jpg?v=1751038044","width":2518,"height":2518},{"id":32702110826630,"created_at":"2024-03-18T07:51:16-04:00","position":2,"updated_at":"2025-06-27T11:27:24-04:00","product_id":7389026680966,"variant_ids":[],"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1464\/8794\/files\/EOsq-RS_abc21e0b-1798-4f09-9a51-a4bb61883d29.jpg?v=1751038044","width":800,"height":800}],"options":[{"name":"Millilitres","position":1,"values":["1","5","10","30","100"]}]},{"id":6797323370630,"title":"Poplar Buds-Balm of Gilead","handle":"balm-of-gilead-poplar-buds-fresh-and-29578","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eThough called in the West \"Balm of Gilead,\" the buds of Poplar\/Cottonwood trees are not the true Balm of Gilead from the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003eThe original Balm of Gilead is believed to be Labdanum-Cistus creticus, which grows wild in the Gilead area of Biblical Israel.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe preceding paragraph is an excerpt from an excellent article about Asafoetida on NCBI.

Cedar of Lebanon  was one of the most valuable commodities of the ancient world. It is mentioned in the great Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh. King Solomon used it to build the Temple. The Phoenicians built their fleets of ships with it and traded the wood of the Cedar of Lebanon around the known world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the Cedar of Lebanon is a protected species, this material comes from a small, intentionally managed plantation in Southern Europe, where the trees are cultivated and harvested for unique crafts, and the fresh shavings are collected for sale. Nothing is wasted. This material is entirely sustainable. The consistency is of fine shavings. Not quite a powder and highly aromatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many applications, Cedar of Lebanon chips are a more practical, sustainable, and conscientious choice than essential oil, which, due to the scarcity of this tree, is not produced commercially and is not available on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an alternative to the essential oil from this rare tree, an alcohol tincture made from the chips proves to be an excellent substitute, delivering the full spectrum of the tree's aroma profile to perfume blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is also an excellent material for incense blends, potpourris, sachets, and steam inhalations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ability of cedar wood to retain its fragrance for years is well-known. Thus we find cedar chests and cabinets, often decades old, still retain their aroma. The shavings will last for a long time in the resealable pouches they came in. Just make sure to keep them out of direct sunlight in a relatively dark, dry and cool place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that our ounces are not the 25 grams that most sellers offer, but 30 grams.
