Natural Resins

Three Kings natural resins originate from Africa and the Far East. Our natural resin is used in many religious and spiritual ceremonies, but also for meditation and relaxation.

While most people are familiar with incense sticks, resin is really the original incense, as it is obtained from refined tree and plant sap and has been used all over the world for thousands of years, even in Ancient Egypt times. The burning of natural resin was central to the worship of the gods and large quantities of incense were burned every day in temples throughout Egypt. Compared to incense sticks, resin offers a stronger scent and doesn’t contain any unwanted additives. The aromas produced by myrrh, frankincense, benzoin and copal resins are deep and rich.

As natural resin doesn’t burn on its own, you’ll need charcoal tabs to burn resin incense. Simply light the charcoal, spread the resin on the charcoal using a small spoon and enjoy the rich resin fragrances.
