@treefolkfables: Did you know Frankincense and Myrrh tears will not completely dissolve in a single solvent like oil? . You gotta pull your sleeves up and grind them down to a powder! 💥 These resins are composed of an alcohol soluble resin + water soluble gum in a homogenous matrix. You gotta break em up to access that oil portion and expose the compounds to the solvent! . This process of grinding with a mortar and pestle is an ancient practice that connects us with the plant medicine. I admit, my thumbs were cramped for 2 days after this 😐 . Frankincense was infused slowly and patiently in melted coconut oil for our whipped body butter recipe. I would say the time was worth it with the extra dollop we saved for ourselves ☺️ . #frankincense #frankincenseresin #resinsandgums #herbalresins #aromatherapy #frankincenseoil #resin #asmr #asmrgrinding #asmrmortarandpestal #mortarandpestle
