Herbs & Resins
Herbs and Resins have been burned in spiritual practice since before recorded history.
Herbs are the leaves and flowers of plants. Resins are aromatic vegetal extracts obtained by the incision of trees and bushes.
Mortar and Pestles have been used throughout history for medicine, herbalism, and cooking. The word mortar is derived from the Latin word ‘mortarium’ meaning product of grinding/pounding.
