Description
Frankincense resin, derived from the Boswellia tree, has been treasured for centuries for its aromatic, medicinal, and spiritual uses. Known scientifically as Boswellia sacra, Boswellia carterii, or other related species, frankincense is harvested by making small cuts in the tree bark, allowing the resin to ooze out and harden into small, tear-shaped drops.
Frankincense contains boswellic acids, known to reduce inflammation. This makes it beneficial for asthma, and certain inflammatory skin conditions. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, frankincense can help manage pain associated with conditions like arthritis and injuries.
Frankincense has immune-boosting properties that support the body’s defence against infections and disease. Traditionally, frankincense has been used to relieve respiratory issues like asthma, bronchitis, and colds. The resin’s essential oils can ease breathing, reduce congestion, and soothe coughs.
Frankincense is often used in skincare products for its anti-aging benefits. It helps improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and may lighten dark spots and scars.
When burned as incense or diffused as essential oil, frankincense promotes relaxation, mental clarity, and a sense of peace. The raw resin can be burned to release its aroma, often used for meditation or spiritual rituals.
