Myrrh is a resin that has been burned as incense since antiquity, prized for its balsamic depth. The two are paired in the masala style, in which sticks are made from a blend of aromatic powders rather than a single note. It is an old way of building incense that rewards a slow, layered scent.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to burn it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight the tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so it glows. Stand the plain end in a heat-resistant holder with an ash catcher, in a ventilated room, and never leave it unattended.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eGood moments for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvenings at home, a few quiet minutes before meditation or journaling, or a ritual of your own that wants a grounded, atmospheric backdrop.
