Do not ingest.

When burning as incense:

• Use only in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep away from children and pets.
• Never leave burning charcoal or resin unattended.
• Keep away from flammable materials.
• Use a heat-resistant incense burner.

Smoke from any burned botanical material contains airborne particulates; avoid excessive inhalation of concentrated smoke.

For topical products, do not apply raw concentrated resin directly to the skin. Use an appropriately prepared extract or formulation and conduct suitable safety and compatibility testing.
