Incausa
Breu Resin Incense Stick
Blend: Chacrona & Jagube
9 Incense Sticks per box
The Breu Resin is extracted from the Almacega tree in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. Known as "Breuzinho" or "White Breu", the resin is used in healing rituals, to war off evil spirits and invite good energy. It also contains a property that causes regression experiences and conscious dreams in ritualistic use.
Breu's aromatic resin is rich in alpha and beta-amyrina triterpene which gives the incense anti-inflamatory, analgesic and gastro-protective properties. So, it is indicates for respiratory trouble, stomach ache, liver malfunction and mental acuity.
Chacrona & Jagube:
Chacrona leaf Psychotria viridis and Jagube vine Banosteriopsis caapi, together are the fundamental ingredients preparing the sacramental entheogenic drink Ayahuasca. We are humbled, in coordination with the rituals of Feitio (Making), to have the offscourings, customarily offered back to the soil, added into the special blend of Breu Resin incense sticks.
About Incausa:
Incausa is a study to find meaningfulness in profit, for mindful growth, personal, community and society. Beginning with the creation of a product line for ritual and meditation practice that touches on the ancient traditions. That are pure in essence, materials and simplicity. And which design speaks of a sustainable distancing from automation and up-value the human hand touch.
In South America there are still hundreds of different indigenous ethnicities. Their hand work remains untouched by time and modernity. We envisioned creating a model for market placement and distribution that allows us to observe the effects generated by capital to their sovereignty.
Using the profits from our productions and developed logistics network, we are able to act as a pro bono mediator, connecting the trade directly to the wholesale market without any share of profits. Our intention is to reignite indigenous heritage, uplifting cultural values and building sustainable opportunities to the artisan.
We continue to develop relationship with a growing number of producers who share our values and enthusiasm building a line of resonating products to be distributed "in-cause". Currently coordinating artisan outputs in Peru, Brazil, USA and Nepal.
With a team from the Tibetan refugee community, that became not only the core of our assembling operations here in Brooklyn, but also an inspiration that's seen throughout the work.
