Sacred Aromatic Resin from the Amazon Rainforest
🌿Did You Know?
Breu Blanco Resin is a Sustainable Alternative to White Sage
While white sage has gained popularity for its cleansing and aromatic properties, its overharvesting has raised serious concerns about sustainability and cultural respect. Enter Breu Blanco — a sacred resin sustainably harvested from the Amazon rainforest.
Breu Blanco, also known as Protium heptaphyllum, has been used for generations by Indigenous peoples of the Amazon for spiritual, medicinal, and aromatic purposes. When burned, it produces a grounding, sweet, and woody aroma that clears energy, calms the mind, and purifies space — just like white sage, but without the ecological impact.
Breu Branco, also known as Brazilian Frankincense, is a sacred resin harvested sustainably from the Amazonian tree Protium heptaphyllum. Revered by Indigenous communities for centuries, this fragrant resin is traditionally used in spiritual rituals, purification ceremonies, and natural healing practices.
When burned, Breu Branco releases a soft, grounding aroma with hints of pine, fresh earth, and lemony citrus. Its calming scent helps clear stagnant energy, promote focus, and elevate meditation or prayer. In aromatherapy, it is valued for its respiratory support and ability to reduce stress and anxiety.
