The soft balsamic powder is obtained from liquidambar orientalis, a tall tree (though it generally does not exceed seven meters) native to Anatolia.

The tree trunks are struck to make them produce a kind of “stress serum” which, once collected, is mixed with crushed bark.

The mixture is left to macerate for several months and produces the balsam, which requires no further treatment.

Fun Fact

Storax resin is obtained from the bark of the Liquidambar orientalis, a plant that is still widespread today, as it was in ancient Egypt, in Asia Minor.

Also known as “oriental amber,” it now grows wild in Asia Minor, Iran, Lebanon, Cyprus, Rhodes, and Turkey.

Storax was exported from Mesopotamia to the Egyptian kingdom by the Phoenicians, and it seems that in both countries it was used to create a special fragrance suitable for festivals and celebrations. In fact, storax was also called “miniaki,” which means “festival fragrance”; it was known for certain that adding it to a mixture would intensify the floral aromas.

In the “Magical Papyrus of Abraxas” (4th century AD), storax is mentioned among the finest fragrant substances and recommended to promote deep sleep. Once burned, black storax gives off an intense, warm, balsamic, resinous, floral, feminine fragrance, sweet like cinnamon and slightly herbal.

Fumigation with this wonderful resin has calming and relaxing properties, useful for promoting sleep and relaxation.

Main benefits of storax oil:

  • promotes sleep
  • calming
  • relaxing
  • meditative
  • antibacterial
  • drives away negative thoughts

How to use the resin: to burn it, charcoal discs must be used. These should be lit with a lighter or stove flame; therefore, it is recommended to use tongs or similar to avoid unpleasant burns. When the charcoal begins to ignite over its entire surface, it is time to place it in the incense burner to burn the resin and add the resin itself.

Experts recommend placing a little sand around the base of the incense burner to help dissipate the heat more effectively.
