• Nativilis Brazilian Frankincense - BREU BRANCO VIRGIN RESIN UNREFINED - Protium heptaphyllum -

• In the depths of the Amazonian rainforest, during the ancestral rituals of native Indians, the aromatic resin of a sacred tree has been used for centuries to open up the doors of memory. Being able to reach up to 20 meters, this majestic Amazonian tree secretes from its bark a beautifully aromatic white resin, by which the essential oil is obtained. The plant is scientifically known by the name of Protium Heptaphyllum, also commonly known as Breu Branco. Like Frankincense and Palo Santo, it belongs to the fragrant species of the Burseraceae family. As well as having a scent akin to that of Frankincense, yet fresher with a slight citrus fragrance, its chemical composition is also very similar, as are some of its properties. It comes as no surprise then, that the Protium Heptaphyllum is often dubbed the ‘Frankincense of Amazonia’.
