About Product

Traditionally, the resin of the Protium heptaphyllum tree has been used in ceremonial rituals and spiritual practices. Its aromatic properties are believed to have a purifying and grounding effect, creating a sacred atmosphere and facilitating deeper connections with the divine.

Blessings ~ Purification ~ Protection

~Excellent for blessing sacred items, refreshing and cleaning your alter, and for purification rituals

~Offers spiritual protection and guardianship

~A powerful tool for communing with our ancestors, and for special points on the medicine wheel (equinoxes and solstices)

~Anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial, making it a great natural medicine for use in body scrubs and soaps

~An effective bug-repellent

For many Brazilian indigenous tribes, this smudging agent, also known as "sepá", is a central pillar to their ceremonial practices and spiritual cleansing. In situations of illness, interpersonal or community disputes, or an overall negative energy build-up, the first step usually involves burning Breu Branco to purify the atmosphere. The smoke of the Sepá is believed to carry their prayers and intentions.
While this resin is virtually unknown in the U.S., in Brazil it is often used by perfume and fragrance companies and can also be distilled as an essential oil.

Also called Brazilian Frankincense, Breu Branco has been used by the peoples of the rainforest for centuries for its healing and protective properties.

Versatile in its uses, it works wonderfully in DIY body scrubs and homemade soaps.

Using a recipient such as a copaleiro or cauldron, place a small piece of Breu Branco or a generous pinch of ground powder upon a burning charcoal to let the smoke burn.
Smudge your entire home, office, car, or sacred space. You can use feathers or a bundle of fresh herbs to disperse the smoke, bringing blessings.

Alternative Uses: Breu Branco can be ground up and used in body masks and body scrubs or for soap-making.

Ethically wild-harvested Breu Branco resin (Protium heptaphyllum)

WHY OUR PRODUCTS ARE NOT ALWAYS THE LOWEST PRICE YOU’LL FIND

  • #1

    Sourcing

    Directly sourced from indigenous lands and lineage holders, we guarantee the ancestral connection remains intact and strong in all our medicines. We treat the stewardship of the vision as an enormous spiritual responsibility and honor.

    Why it Matters

    As demand for ancient botanicals has grown in the West, profit seekers have saturated the market with low-quality medicines lacking spiritual power. These products are made utilizing machines and agro-chemical farming techniques, containing heavy metals and microplastics. Even more dangerous, they lack the presence of elders, trained medicine makers, and connection with Nature.

  • #2

    Our Beyond Fair Trade Model

    We exclusively partner with highly trained, initiated medicine makers—elders and lineage holders who have spent decades mastering their craft. Their medicines are rare, potent, and carry an unbroken spiritual lineage. We honor their expertise and do not haggle or bargain for lower prices. Instead, we pay them what their work is truly worth, ensuring they are fairly compensated for their time, knowledge, and sacred labor.

    Why it Matters

    Many companies exploit indigenous artisans by negotiating the lowest possible prices, undervaluing the sacred medicines and labor behind them. This depletes resources, forces unsustainable harvesting practices, and disconnects these healers from their ancestral lifeways. By upholding a beyond fair trade model, we empower new generations of indigenous medicine makers to continue their traditions, support their families, and sustain this sacred work for more generations to come.

  • #3

    Our Commitment to Giving Back

    At Four Visions, we put our money where our heart is. Every month, we donate over $15,000 to our indigenous partners, funding initiatives that support land preservation, language revitalization, traditional healing centers, and elder care. Since our inception, we have contributed over $1 million dollars to indigenous-led projects.

    Why it Matters

    Many profit off sacred medicines while giving little or nothing in return. This extractive model strips indigenous communities of their resources without replenishment. Our commitment to reciprocity ensures that when you purchase from Four Visions, you are actively supporting cultural survival, indigenous sovereignty, and the continued transmission of ancestral wisdom.

    We Uplift and Empower All Our People

    Our ethos of stewardship extends beyond our indigenous partners—it includes the people who make our company what it is. We believe in supporting our team by offering real living wages, retirement plans, bonuses and paid-time-off; inside a workplace which honors balance, well-being, and spiritual growth. As a small family business, not a multi-conglomerate, these achievements take serious effort.

    Why it Matters

    E-commerce brands keep prices low by underpaying workers, outsourcing fulfillment to exploitative warehouses, and prioritizing profits over people. We reject that model. By choosing Four Visions, you are supporting a business that invests in its people, ensuring everyone—from our medicine makers to our customer service team—thrives, not just survives.
