Resin is the life-blood of a tree, healing its wounds, inflictions and protecting it against infection. In short resin repairs, protects and heals.

Resin has a long history of use in ceremonial practices all around the world including some of the most renowned civilisations, from ancient Egyptians to the Native Americans. It even made its way into the scriptures of the Bible as one of the sacred gifts given by Kings. According to the Biblical text of Mathew 2:11, gold, frankincense and myrrh were among the gifts to Jesus. Gold representing his kingship, frankincense a symbol of his priestly role and myrrh a prefiguring of his embalming.
