Dragon's Blood Incense Bricks

Dragon's Blood resin is obtained from a number of distinct plant genera.  Some medieval encyclopaedias claimed it's source as the literal blood of elephants and dragons that had died in mortal combat.  Dracaena ("true" Dragon's Blood) and also Calamus resins are both marketed today with little or no distinction between them.  

The scent of Drasgon's Blood is distinctly floral with musky undertones.  The two main properties of ingested Dragon's Blood are as a muscle relaxant and an abortifacient.  However, as an incense these properties are not applicable, just enjoy the lovely, warm scent exuded by the bricks.

The Incense Bricks are produced in India and unlike other forms of oil burning or diffusing, it does not require the addition of water.  The incense brick is simply placed in a suitable burner and a candle, such as a tea light, is ignited beneath it, where it will slowly release it's scent.

We recommend using the Incense Bricks with the Aromafume Burner.  This burner is powerful enough to withstand the heat from the Incense Bricks.  The method for using the bricks is as follows:

• Place the Incense Brick in a suitable burner, such as the Aromafume burner (which we sell).
• Ignite the tea light and allow it to burn and heat the Incense Brick for up to 60 minutes.
• Blow out the candle at the 60 minute marker and the scent from the Incense Brick will continue to radiate throughout your home for some time.
• Once the Incense Brick is sufficiently cooled, remove it from the burner and dispose of it safely.
• Use a new Incense Brick for each 60 minute burn cycle.

PLEASE NOTE:  It is essential that you follow the above instructions to the letter.  Burning the tea light for longer and 60 minutes will damage the burner and could cause problems for anything close by.  Refunds will not be given for burners that have been melted by the heat from the Incense Bricks if left burning for too long.
