Breuzinho (also Breuzim) is a resinous incense from the Brazilian Amazon, obtained from trees of the genus Protium. The resin has a fresh-resinous, slightly citrusy and earthy fragrance that is very distinctive and unmistakeable.
Among the indigenous peoples of the Amazon, Breuzinho is one of the most important incense materials of all. Shamanic healings, protective rituals and ceremonies to connect with nature spirits are accompanied by Breuzinho. It is said to be protective, support healing processes and establish a connection with the rainforest and its spirits.
Use: Place resin pieces on incense charcoal. Fresh, unusual fragrance – a fascinating glimpse into Amazonian incense traditions.
