Pine Resin from the Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) and other pine species is one of the most down-to-earth and original incense materials of Northern Europe. The sticky, golden-yellow resin contains terpenes and resin acids and releases a powerful, fresh coniferous forest scent with resinous and slightly smoky notes when heated.
Pine resin was burned in Northern European cultures for healing, protection and purification. In shamanic traditions of Northern Europe in particular, pine resin is an important incense. It is said to energetically cleanse spaces, drive out illness energies and create a fresh, clear forest atmosphere.
Use: Place small drops of resin on incense charcoal. Intense forest scent – very effective for cleansing and refreshing spaces.
