Gum Ammoniac Resin | 1 ounce | Ferula ammoniacum | 100% Natural Tree Resin | Afghanistan

Gum Ammoniac or Ammoniacum, or Ammoniac of Persia is a gum resin derived from the herbaceous plant Ferula ammoniacum ,a member of the Apiaceae or carrot family. The genus Ferula also includes two other well-known members; one being Ferula assa-foetida or Asafoetida and the other being Ferula gummosa or Galbanum. All three members of the genus are pungent and stimulating. Regarding fragrance, Gum Ammoniac falls somewhere between Asafoetida and Galbanum. It has the earthy pungency of asafoetita and hints of the chypric green quality of Galbanum. Gum Ammoniac includes within it a fragrant x-factor, a je ne sais quoi that is not unpleasant. I may not choose to use Gum Ammoniac as a single note burn, but blended judiciously into an incense blend it will give it an animated vibrancy that will keep people wondering what is underscoring the over all fragrance. A little will go a long way.

This gum resin could be tinctured and added to an incense mixture or one may freeze the gum and grind it in a mortar and pestle. If you choose to use the mortar and pestle, I would use one that is made of brass or stainless as marble and soapstone may pick up that pungency.

Our Gum Ammoniac is sourced from Afghanistan and has the texture of candy; sticky and soft. It’s fresh and pungent.
