Aroma Resins Tincture
This is an alcohol-based liquid extract (tincture) of five aromatic tree resins extracted together in equal parts - the classic gum resins of Arabian, Indian, Southeast Asian and African tradition. It is a traditional herbal product taken by the drop in water. Several of these resins affect blood clotting and interact with medicines - please read the safety information below before use.
- Frankincense, resin - Boswellia serrata gum resin (Burseraceae)
- Myrrh, gum resin - Commiphora myrrha gum resin (Burseraceae)
- Guggul, gum resin - Commiphora mukul gum resin (Burseraceae)
- Dragon's blood, resin - Daemonorops draco fruit resin (Arecaceae) - the rattan-palm dragon's blood of Sumatra
- Extract type: Alcohol tincture. Other ingredients: organic alcohol, vegetable glycerin, crystal clear purified water
- Origin: Responsibly sourced resins (frankincense and myrrh from the Horn of Africa, guggul from India, dragon's blood and dammar from Indonesia). Gluten free. Made in the USA.
What is in the blend
- Frankincense - the pale golden tears of resin tapped from Boswellia trees of the dry hills of India and the Horn of Africa; one of the oldest traded aromatics in the world.
- Myrrh - the reddish-brown, bitter resin of a thorny Commiphora shrub of Somalia and Arabia, companion to frankincense since antiquity.
- Guggul - the gum resin of the Indian bdellium tree, a close relative of myrrh, tapped in the dry lands of Rajasthan and Gujarat.
- Dragon's blood - the deep red resin that coats the fruit of a climbing rattan palm of Sumatra and Borneo; it colors the extract red.
Why a tincture
Resins dissolve far better in alcohol than in water, which is why resin extracts have traditionally been made as tinctures. The five dried resins are macerated together in organic alcohol with a little vegetable glycerin and water. A tincture keeps for years at room temperature in a cool, dark place, has a sharp, warm, aromatic taste, and a few drops disappear in a glass of water or juice - the liquid may turn cloudy as the resins meet water, which is normal. A serving of 20 to 30 drops is roughly 1 ml of liquid, so the amount of alcohol per serving is small.
How to use
Shake well before use. Put the number of drops shown on the label into a little water or juice and drink it, up to the frequency shown on the label. Do not exceed the label serving, and reduce the amount if you notice stomach upset. Use it in short courses rather than continuously. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tight.
Tincture or drops?
If you avoid alcohol or prefer a milder taste, the same five-resin blend is available as Aroma Resins Alcohol-Free Drops - the glycerite version. The resins and proportions are identical; only the extraction liquid differs.
Important safety information - please read before use
Several of these resins affect blood clotting and interact with prescription medicines. Please read before use.
- Pregnancy / nursing: do not use - myrrh, frankincense and guggul are all avoided in pregnancy, and myrrh can stimulate the uterus.
- Blood clotting: these resins act in both directions - frankincense may add to the effect of blood thinners, while myrrh and dragon's blood may reduce the effect of warfarin or promote clotting. Do not use with warfarin, aspirin or any other blood thinner without your doctor, and stop use at least two weeks before scheduled surgery.
- Prescription medicines: guggul and frankincense change how the liver processes many drugs, including statins, blood-pressure medicines, oral contraceptives and thyroid medication. If you take any prescription medication, check with your pharmacist or doctor first.
- Thyroid: guggul can interfere with thyroid hormone - do not use if you have a thyroid condition or take levothyroxine without your doctor.
- Blood sugar: myrrh may lower blood sugar - monitor if you take diabetes medication.
- Fever and heart: myrrh may worsen a fever and, in large amounts, affect heart rate - do not use during a fever or if you have a heart condition without your doctor.
- Short courses: internal use of dragon's blood is not well studied - keep to the label serving and to short courses, and reduce the amount if you notice stomach upset.
- Allergies: do not use if you are allergic to tree resins, Boswellia or Commiphora species.
- Age: not for children.
- Contains alcohol. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Do not use it to self-treat any medical condition - see a qualified doctor instead. Keep out of reach of children.
