Copal is the name given to a tree resin that is an aromatic resin used by the cultures of Pre-Columbian Mesoamerica as ceremonially burned incense. It originated in Mexico, but it now grows all over the world. The word copal is a shortened version of “copalli” which is a Nahuatl word for incense. The Mayan people referred to it as “pom” & others have nicknamed it young amber. The resin itself is also popular in East Africa. The most common use for this resin incense today is its use in ceremonies. It is used to purify objects, entrances & chosen for specific uses in ceremonies. It is also used in sweat lodges where it's commonly used to cleanse the body, mind and soul. This practice is still in use today and has been used specifically by the Native Americans as well as the indigenous people of Mexico and South America. Sustainably harvested, the resin is burned as an incense using charcoal tablets.

For our customers that prefer unscented bath salts we have packaged one pound of Dead Sea Salts in a recyclable glass mason jar. We suggest adding ¼ to ½ cup to soften bath water for a relaxing soak.
The waters of the Dead Sea are unique compared to other seas and lakes, first and foremost, due to the high concentration of salts reaching 27% compared to 3% in ordinary seawater. The composition of the Dead Sea salts is also unique. In ordinary seawater, sodium chloride (common salt) is the major constituent (about 80% of the total salt content) the Dead Sea on the other hand contains a significantly smaller proportion of sodium chloride, the balance consisting of magnesium, potassium and calcium chlorides and a comparatively high concentration of bromides.
Many believe that these other salts, mainly those of magnesium, potassium and bromide have numerous therapeutic properties. Clinical studies have been made on the use of Dead Sea Salts for patients suffering from rheumatism, tendonitis, muscle strains and a variety of skin diseases.

Frankincense has been known for its healing powers & the belief to improve communication with the Creator for thousands of years, long before it was given to baby Jesus. There are over 52 references to it in the Bible. Egyptian records show that it was used in cosmetics, perfumes & as an embalming agent. The Chinese used it as part of a treatment for leprosy. Grown predominantly on the Somali Coast & parts of the Arabian Peninsula, the resin is obtained by making a deep cut in the trunk of the tree lengthwise. Below this incision a narrow strip of bark is peeled off allowing the sap to run out, and as it touches air it begins to harden. It takes approximately three months to harden into the yellow "tears". Sustainably harvested, the resin is burned as an incense using charcoal tablets.
