Commiphora Mukul (guggul) gum resin is used in incense, perfumes, and ayurvedic medicine.  Guggul, or “common myrrh,” has a warm, slightly sweet, balsamic, herbaceous, and earthy aroma with hints of vanilla. It is said to rejuvenate the spirit, increase one’s energy and provide an overall feeling of well being.

How to Burn: How to Burn: To burn the dried resin use a small charcoal disk.  Light the charcoal outside on a fire-proof dish and when it finishes smoking and sparking it should simply glow.  Place 1 to 3 small pieces of resin on the charcoal and it will start to burn immediately.  You can also place a little bit of light vegetable or sunflower oil in an essential oil burner (a traditional one, not an electric misting one), add resin and embrace the natural scent!
