The resin available in nature quickly heals the wounds of the tree and promotes their regeneration. It is an insoluble substance in water, an unusual mixture of non-volatile organic compounds, terpenoids (these are resin acids) and phenolic compounds. Plants secrete resin in a denser, higher-quality form, which eventually acquires other properties necessary for nature. Various factors, such as climate change or the threat of the appearance of foreign organisms, can be the cause of the appearance of resin. Observing nature, man for many centuries admired the healing effect of resin flowing from the trunks and branches of trees. It is not surprising that this substance quickly became part of products designed to maintain human health and well-being.
Natural resins of trees and plants are of great use. You'll find them in medicines, cosmetics, and even chewing gum. Emotional resin is hashish, a substance contained in the inflorescence of cannabis. In addition, it was the resin that turned into the famous Baltic amber over the centuries. It is in this form that the fossil resins have survived to the present day.
