Description

High quality Frankincense acquired from a supplier of medicinal herbs. Used in traditional Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, as a favoring for tea, incense, aromatherapy or as a topical applied to the skin.

Why pay less when you can get premium quality for a great price? These unadulterated tears have a wonderful, smooth fragrance when used with either charcoal or electric incense burners.

It is important to remove the resin once the aromatic oils have been released. At that point, the fragrance will be significantly diminished. When the resin starts to heat up, you will notice the skin will become watery and start to bubble. When the bubbling stops, most of the fragrance has been released.

Botanical Name: Olibanum, Gummi Olibani

Also known as Frankincense, Gum Olibanum, Mastic and Boswellia.

Frankincense resin is natural sap harvested from the Boswellia carterii tree, that hardens into tear-shaped droplets, known as “tears,” and has a history of use as incense and in natural remedies dating back over 5,000 years. The resin is also processed into essential oils and used in perfumes. When burned over charcoal or in electric incense burners, it releases a warm, balsamic, and versatile fragrance with woody-citrus undertones. Because Frankincense is so widely used in churches, religious ceremonies and during Christmas (for its purported ability to elevate the spirit), it is often referred to as church incense or Christmas Incense. Popular in aromatherapy, where electric diffusers release its warm, grounding scent known to ease stress, calm the mind, and promote relaxation.

These 100% pure tears are processed by hand to remove any dust or crumbs, leaving only nice, clean, high-quality resin.
