A couple months ago Russ asked how New Zealand got its name. If anyone has been to the Netherlands, they may have been to the province of Zeeland.... the Dutch were the first Europeans to "discover" New Zealand.
D, They are old forms of ingredient used in the making of incense primarily used mainly by the wealthy.
Frankincense is a very expensive ingredient in the making of incense it is often burned indirectly by adding it to coal. Though some do not like the scent of Frankincense alone they often used the resin in the making of other types of incense.
Frankincense is a aromatic tree resin formed when they cut the Boswelliatree's bark, they let the sap bleed out and harden, they would then collect this resin, it comes in a variety of grades ( 4 grades I think ) and it is all graded by hand.

Personally I like the Cannabis incense over Frankincense myself, it has a wonderful relaxing Oder.. but the problem with that, is every time I use it the neighbors keep thinking I am smoking marijuana, which I don't. All though when very stressed out another good incense to use is one of the Lavender scented ones
Frankincense is best.. but that is a personal choice it will vary person to person...
That's a hard one. Some people see Christmas as just another day or just a day to get gifts. If that's the case then New Years Eve is best as it gives us a stepping stone to another year. Another year to improve yourself and those around you. Another year of memories to look back on, to cherish. .
