The creation of Kyphi was reverential, representing the resurrection of the god Osiris by his sister-wife-goddess, Isis. Kyphi was used in ceremonies and in daily life. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kyphi in this offering was created in very limited quantities, slowly, intentionally, and with reverence for what it represents. Each material is given a day of contemplation, which often includes grinding in a brass mortar and pestle before it is added to a copper vessel. The process is slow, intentional, and the Kyphi itself guides the pace of its creation. After the final steps (adding warm honey and ground myrrh), the Kyphi is then fermented in a clay container for at least 4-6 weeks. This is the formula attributed to Dioscorides; ancient Greek Physician and Pharmacologist c.40-90AD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT IS INCLUDED?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted, ritually prepared Kyphi (4-5g) on a bed of blue lotus and rose petals.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT IS IN KYPHI?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBenzoin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalamus Root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandalwood Chips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTragacanth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCinnamon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCassia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLemongrass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePine Kernels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamphor Wood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabdanum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalbanum Resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrris Root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLebanese Cedarwood (or Chinese Weeping Cypress)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuniper Berries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAleppo Pine Resin (or Canary Island Pine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrankincense (species with boswellic acid)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDried Raisins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSyrah Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMyrrh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHOW TO BURN KYPHI?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough with caution Kyphi may be burned over coal, I don't recommend it. It easily burns and creates excessive acrid smoke. It is easy to waste the Kyphi using this method. With caution, using a shell or other barrier between the Kyphi and the grey coal can be successful, but I find it wasteful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectric Incense Burner or Subitism\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI prefer to use an electric ceramic incense burner or a subitism incense burner to control the heat source. 300F seems to be a good temperature. A pea sized piece of Kyphi can be burned over several days depending on the length of the session. Typically 4-6 hours. Using this method, it will take 5-10 minutes for the volatile compounds to be released. The experience creates a more relaxing and contemplative experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Full Petal Alchemy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52065326923957,"sku":"KYPH","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/8351\/1733\/files\/Kyphi_with_Lotus_Flowers.jpg?v=1772926663","url":"https:\/\/fullpetalalchemy.com\/products\/ceremonial-kyphi-incense","provider":"Full Petal Alchemy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
