Premium Natural Frankincense Resin (8 Ounce)

The Boswellia Serrata variety of frankincense, originating from India, is the specific focus of this 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, with the Bible containing 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.

The product offered is Olibanum Gum, which is 100% Pure Frankincense Tree Sap, with a color range of Amber, Golden, and Brown Multi-Color. It is Chemical Free, Non Bleached, and All Natural.
