Breu resin, also known as Amazonian Copal, carries the numinous energy of the rainforest, teeming with the cycles of life. Its smoke imparts creativity and encourages transformation, offering deep grounding in this exotic botanical. The very fragrant resin contained within the grey-hued pieces diffuses an aroma that is rich woody, and powerful, with spice notes. It also has a proven effectiveness in repelling insects and mosquitos.
The Breu Branco is a tree native to the Amazon Jungle that can grow 20 to 30 metres tall. Its resin is burned by people of the region as a natural incense to repel insects, fragrance their homes, and in sacred rituals.
Bio Alchemy Olfactive’s Breu resin is harvested by a family based deep in the central rainforest of Peru. Lumps of resin are naturally produced and secreted by trees with the special help of weevils, requiring zero human cultivation. In fact, it is nearly impossible for humans to recreate this collaborative process as expertly designed by nature.
For the ultimate experience of Breu resins aroma, break off a small piece and place atop hot charcoal.
Burn Breu Resin.
Break off a piece of Breu resin. Carefully ignite clean burning charcoal over a hot flame using a heat-resistant utensil until the corners and edges of the briquette glow red. Place the charcoal inside an incense burner and top it with a small piece of Breu resin.
More fragrant smoke will be produced by placing a larger piece of Frankincense on the smoldering ember.
