Detailed Description
 
A Resin with a History
Black Dammer is a dark, brownish-black resin that has been traded and treasured in India since ancient times. Unlike White Dammer, the Black variety is known for its intense fumigation properties. Vanasree brings you this resin in its raw, crystallized form, preserving its potent essential oils and medicinal properties.
The Ultimate Air Purifier
In the humid climates of Kerala, burning Kunthirikkam is a daily ritual, especially at dusk. It serves a dual purpose: it is a sacred offering that signifies the removal of darkness/ignorance, and a practical solution to sanitize the air. The smoke is non-toxic and serves as a powerful disinfectant for your living space.
Wellness from the Wild
Beyond its use as incense, Black Dammer is a key ingredient in many Ayurvedic medicinal oils (Thailams) used for treating rheumatic pain and skin ailments. While this product is sold primarily for burning, its high quality makes it a genuine representation of Kerala's ethno-medical heritage.
 
How to Use (Fumigation / Sambrani)
 
Prepare the Base: Ignite a piece of charcoal or a coconut shell ember in a traditional incense burner (Doopakkal or Pandaam).
Add the Resin: Once the charcoal is glowing red, sprinkle a few pieces of Vanasree Black Dammer onto the embers.
Experience: Watch as the resin melts and releases thick, white, fragrant smoke.
Spread: Walk around the house with the burner to let the smoke reach all corners for effective mosquito control and purification.
