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)
