Sandarac comes from the natural exudate or tapping of the Tetraclinis Articulata tree, which grows in the North West of Africa particularly in the Atlas Mountain range. This is the genuine resin. It may be used for meditation or ceremonies. It may be used singly or mixed to provide the perfect incense to create an evocative atmosphere. Sandarac has a warm clean fragrance if burnt by itself and blends well with other herbs and resins. Historically it has also been used for medicinal purposes.
