The miraculous power of the natural incense: recipes Bashny.Net

Now incense or incense turned into a miserable appendage of perfumes. And not of the highest quality. Smoke is flowing not from the natural substances, and synthetic, created in laboratories that simulate the smell of nature. Once fragrant smoke saved people from the terrible epidemics. Now it has become poisonous, able, cause of the disease.

The history of spices dates back to Ancient Egypt. Then well versed in aromatic substances and selected only those that were useful for human health. Myrrh was burned in the afternoon to dissipate the putrid air, like languishing under the sun with earth. In the evening, the altars, burning the buyto people after a hard day to unwind, relax and sleep well. Buy possessed antiseptic, antibacterial properties.

And turning to heavenly representatives with requests for help and protection, for deliverance from troubles and overcoming adversity, the ancients knew exactly which flavors will be enjoyable, understandable and accepted by their Archangel-patron.

It has many other features protection from evil forces and negative energy with them requests for help, health and wellbeing communicated to God faster than words. Finally, the fragrant smoke can purify the home and bring health to sick people.

Frankincense is a resin of the tree Boswellia species, particularly Boswellia sacra (synonymous with B. carteri, B. thurifera) (family Burseraceae), which grows in the middle East. The resin pieces that stand out on the tree, called "tears." Above all prized pieces of opaque resin incense. The best is the resin of trees that grow in Oman, Yemen and North Somalia.
