Myrrh is frankincense's darker, earthier companion. It's associated with protection, spiritual healing, banishing, and deep inner work, including shadow work and honoring ancestors. Burn it on charcoal, often alongside frankincense for balance.
Safety: Use a fireproof dish and ventilation, and handle hot charcoal with care. Keep dried herbs, resins and smoke away from pets, especially cats and birds.
