'Marika' Incense Blend with Palo Santo, Dragon's Blood and White Copal

The Marika incense blend combines Palo Santo resin, Dragon's Blood and White Copal in a unique synergy of scents and beneficial effects.

During the Marika fumigation each aroma, delicately intertwined with the others, contributes to creating an atmosphere of energetic elevation, purifying the spaces and at the same time regenerating one's essence.
"Marika" in Sanskrit is a term used to describe what is Bright, Shining. Marika fumigation invites us to explore the depths of our Self and helps us to shed light on those repressed emotions that hinder our growth. Thanks to its purifying energy , Marika facilitates the liberation from fears and allows our pure self to blossom in a state of inner peace and spiritual enlightenment .

How is the Marika incense blend composed:

Palo Santo resin , obtained by incision from Bursera graveolens trees between Ecuador and Peru, is the aromatic essence of Palo Santo wood, responsible for the characteristic sweet and intense fragrance. Its aroma holds beneficial properties and spiritual powers for which it has been traditionally used for millennia in rituals and sacred ceremonies.
Dragon's Blood is the name given to the sap of the Croton lechleri ​​tree in Peru. Extracted in liquid form, it is used as a folk remedy to promote the healing of skin wounds and ulcers; in solid form it becomes an incense capable of conferring protective and stimulating energy.
White Copal , on the other hand, is obtained from the dried resin of the Bursera bipinnata tree. As an incense, it has been used for centuries in the spiritual traditions of the native peoples of Mexico and Central America as a means of connecting with the spiritual world. Its sweet and slightly balsamic aroma delicately intertwines with the scents of other incenses, offering an inebriating olfactory and sensory experience.

The best method to obtain maximum yield and enhance the beneficial properties of incense is to use it with the copper Sublimator . The pure aroma of resins and herbs will be released without producing smoke or odors related to combustion and the diffusion in the environment will be delicate and long-lasting.

The steps to follow for a perfect sublimation are:

• Light a small candle and place it under the copper saucer of the sublimator. After about a minute the saucer will reach the ideal temperature to start sublimation.
• At this point, place a pinch of the incense mixture previously pulverized in the mortar on the saucer.
• The aroma of the incense is released into the air from the first moments. The duration of the fumigation depends on the quantity of the mixture that you want to sublimate on the saucer.
• When you decide to stop the sublimation, simply turn off the candle. The incense mixture that has not exhausted its aroma can be reused later.
• If the incense no longer releases any scent, after having extinguished the candle and allowed the sublimator to cool, it can be removed by applying a little pressure under the copper plate.

For deep rituals and purifications, you can use the incense blend on a lit charcoal inside one of our Incense Burners . The experience will be intense and enveloping.

In both cases, we always recommend pulverizing the incenses with the help of a mortar before using them, to promote correct fumigation and avoid carbonization of the resins.
