Muña, Minthostachys mollis, belongs to the mint family (Lamiaceae). WCVP gives its native range as Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela; the supplier names Peru and describes the oil as steam-distilled. Patchouli, Pogostemon cablin, is also a member of the Lamiaceae. WCVP lists it as native to Sri Lanka, the Malay Peninsula, the Philippines, New Guinea and several Indonesian islands, among them Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi; Indonesia is also the country the supplier gives.

Bottles and volumes

The product photos of the rosewood and muña oils show a dark glass bottle with a black dropper cap and a lilac label giving the common name, the botanical name and “10ml”. The supplier describes the muña bottle as dark violet Miron glass.

Burning safely

Burn incense, resins, smudge sticks and palo santo in a well-ventilated room, on a heat-resistant holder (a dish, sand, or charcoal for resins), away from curtains and anything flammable. Always put out the embers before you leave the room.

Precautions

Never leave anything burning unattended, and keep children and pets at a distance.
Smoke can irritate the airways: air the room, and avoid use if you have asthma or a respiratory illness.
Essential oils and floral waters: never swallow them and keep them away from the eyes; dilute oils before any contact with the skin, and seek advice during pregnancy.
Plant ash is not meant to be inhaled: handle it with care.

Storage

Keep incense, resins and wood dry, in a closed container, away from light and heat, so that they keep their fragrance. Close oils and floral waters tightly after use.
