Known simply as encens (incense) in France, the English word derives from the old French 'franc encens' franc here meaning luxuriant. Today, commercial grade Frankincense usually comes from Australia. Still, the best quality is the Arabian one, from Yemen and Oman... The frankincense offered here is Yemeni.Frankincense is a resin harvested from small shrubs growing in the hot, dry Arabian climate. It has a calming, soothing effect on the mind, its comforting action is helpful for conditions of anxiety and obsession linked to the past. That might explain one of the reasons for the wide use of Frankincense in religious rituals. It was also widely used for medicinal purposes. Its sweet, pleasant scent is widely known today, as frankincense is still used in some religious celebrations, and also used in higher-end incense...How to burn frankincense from this set: Put a small stone, or little bit of sand., etc. to elevate from bottom of the burner (see top picture), start charcoal disc with a lighter, lighting it from couple of sides. You will see it starts to burn, but be careful - it gets really hot (it may take minute or so, to really burn well), place it in burner on top of that stone or sand), and place a single piece of frankincense. Keep the burner open, until it burns nicely. 1 charcoal disc lasts for up to 1 hour, so you may eventually wish to add another piece of frankincense, if it burns out faster...Make sure you dispose it properly. Charcoal turns grey when burns out, but it still may be very hot, or burning deep inside... We are Middle Eastern imports and decor gallery with years of Internet service and retail experience.
