Organic Frankincense Resin (4 Ounce)

The Boswellia Serrata, originating from India, is the specific variety of frankincense under discussion. This Indian incense tree is naturally distributed across India, Northern Africa, and the Middle East, and holds cultural significance within traditional practices in India, such as Ayurveda. Another term frequently used interchangeably with frankincense is "Olibanum," referring to a sap that exudes from openings in the bark of various species within the Boswellia genus.

Throughout history, frankincense and its extracted oil have been recognized for their perceived unique attributes and their connection to enhancing spiritual experiences. These qualities were acknowledged in the Middle East long before the Magi presented it as a gift to Christ, as evidenced by the Bible's over 52 references to frankincense. Ancient Egyptian records also reveal numerous instances of its usage, ranging from cosmetics and perfumes to preservation practices.

The process of converting frankincense sap into the recognizable yellow "sap" commonly observed in the market takes approximately three months and involves a solidifying process. Collection of the sap typically occurs from May until the beginning of rain showers in September.

Olibanum Gum is a chemical-free, non-bleached, all-natural product that is 100% pure Frankincense Tree Sap, with an amber, golden, and brown multi-color appearance.
