Incense Resin Has Many Traditional Uses

By Liliana Mills


In today's world we are very familiar with incense and the use of it. That is, the more modern types and uses. In the United States it is very common for teenagers and other people to use sticks and cones to produce the sweet smells that we are after. However in the old world and the more traditional uses it is the incense resin that has been burned for centuries.

Sometimes it might be a bit more difficult to obtain the resins because they are not sold in all the places that sell the sticks. But if you look hard enough or order it online you can have any of the popular and even the more obscure scents delivered to your door promptly. Once you learn how they are used you might never go back to the sticks again.

As they are a more pure and traditional way to produce a smoked scent the resins are from the old world and are generally imported into the United States from Peru or Indonesia and other places in that part of the globe. They have been used for thousands of years for more reasons than just making a pleasant aroma.

The first thing that people should do is to make sure they have a clean and unobstructed area with which to burn their scents and resins. Depending on what brand and type you choose or what you want there are various things to watch out for or at the very least to prepare for. You never want to take anything like this for granted.

This is a treat for those who like to find out about certain history. It is also being used for research as well because many of these have been used for a large variety of reasons by our ancestors. These have been used for spiritual cleansing and even sometimes to cast out demons and during prayer.

Sure, you can get a smell through an open area using the sticks or cones as well, but with the resins you will get a deeper scent and a smell that lasts a long while after that of the sticks has gone. These are what people who really know what they are doing use and especially because there are more scents available using these types.

Sometimes it would actually work, for whatever reasons so they continued using them. There are a couple of the scents that have been shown to have slight medicinal properties and these are still used today by more traditional medical seers and some doctors of the old world. It is amazing sometimes how many uses they have found for these things.

The incense resin that is sold today is much the same as what was produced a thousand years ago. If you order them from Indonesia or Asia and those parts of the word you are assured to get the traditional crystals and they produce the same smells as before. Dragons Breath and Dragons Teeth are but a couple of the names and some have mysterious origins.
