Wow- this is generous of you to share what you have learned! The nugget I took away from Lesson 2 is using water. Am also shocked to learn that Boswelia or Frankincense is not a gum or an adequate binder for that matter. When tincturing it for a Doctor i work with, we were taught a huge lesson on just how sticky a solvent like alcohol can make that sweet smelling resin become. The mess was outrageous & cleanup was not 100% possible- we lost some equipment that day. So, in my mind, that is a serious gum. I have so much respect for that material now. Am interested in figuring out the best ratios.
Also, people sell Boswelia as essential oil in like India, so I wonder how that is accomplished. Anyway, thank you so much for doing this class.
I just love that water is a sacred part of making incense. I can't wait to get started! Thank you.
I've had more experience with essential oils and herbs and their healing properties, but I didn't realize that incense was used in this way as well. Great teaching! Thank you🙂
Yes Dance Warrior ! It's a little known secret that incense is the ancient roots of aromatic medicine. Enjoy the series!
Evan is very knowledgeable and has a lovely energy for teaching. A kind thank you for offering these generous videos. I look forward to learning more from you and recommending you to friends.
Thanks for your kind words, Amelia! Evan is a wealth of knowledge!
Hi there, I've been selling incense for years and it really bothers me that I dont know what the ingredients are. I think making my own is the way to go. Thanks for sharing your knowledge so freely. Its really hard to find such rich teaching on incense crafting. I'm very excited to start crafting :)
emma louise sampson 🙌 I love hearing this! Keep us posted how it goes!
Well, My bin just had a donation of all store bought incense. 🤔 I'm looking forward to your next informational video. Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you so much for sharing this series! You're an excellent, clear presenter, which makes the information easy to follow and synthesize. My main takeaway from this is how important it is to have the ingredients ground into a very fine powder. That makes a lot of sense, but it's something I never considered before. This little course found me at just the right time, as I've been looking for direction on how to start a new holistic business incorporating my homegrown plants, education on natural healing/herbalism and overall wellness. Pretty amazing how the things we ask for just come at the perfect time. :)
That's amazing, @Jess T! So happy you found us and thanks for joining. Happy crafting! :)
Hi, great 2 videos. I am looking forward to the crafting in the next video. I signed up for the wait list for the Incense Making Course. Do you have an idea of when that will be opening up? Thanks,
Hi Corey, that's great to hear! The Traditional Incense Crafting Course will open up sometime later this week. Keep an eye on your email inbox!

Thank you! This is so informative and helpful.
I use powdered marshmallow root as a binder. It seems to work but would one of the binders you mention work better?
Emma
Hi Emma! We encourage you to experiment and find the binder that you enjoy working with most!
i am glad to dive in this journey of making incense. I also am grateful that you mentioned that you company has some of the basics of needs to make incense. So, i feel comfortablein purchasing from you verses trying to figure out what companies to trust. thank you. I am so excitedto add this to my apothecary . thank you
Also on a technical note, i could not pause the videos, nor fast forward or rewind. so had to continually keep replaying the whole until i got where i left off.

Hi Daniela,
Thanks for joining us! The name of the binder is Gum Tragacanth. You'll find it in the workbook beneath the lesson for easy reference as well.
