Frankincense

Frankincense is a fragrant resin derived from the Boswellia tree, primarily found in regions of the Middle East and Africa. It has a long history of use in religious ceremonies, traditional medicine, and perfumery. The resin is obtained by making incisions in the tree’s bark, allowing the sap to ooze out and harden. Frankincense is valued for its aromatic properties and is often used in incense, essential oils, and wellness products. Research suggests it may have anti-inflammatory and stress-relieving effects, contributing to its popularity in holistic practices and alternative medicine.
