There are many people who use frankincense for burning in Malaysia, and it can be used in many different ways, depending on how you want to do it. Frankincense is often used for healing and cleansing, but in certain religions, raw frankincense is burnt for ceremonies or other reasons.
The raw frankincense resin comes from the Boswellia tree that grows in the Middle East or Gulf areas, and the frankincense is also known as Loban, which has also made a name here in Malaysia. Most modern-day people will know this from the frankincense essential oils that have become very popular in today’s lifestyle.

Religions That Use Frankincense
When you go back in time, you will be surprised that frankincense has been used for over 6000 years and has been used by many religions. There is also factual evidence that points to the use of frankincense burning for religious purposes in ancient Egypt, China, India, and the Middle East.

Among the best quality frankincense in the world, the Royal Green Hojari frankincense from Oman has the highest grades for external consumption. Please be mindful when you purchase these kinds of Frankincense online, namely on Shopee, as many people will sell the cheapest frankincense but title it as Sacred Hojaro or Royal Hojari, with a RM10-20 price.
Just so you know, there are many types of frankincense from different countries, and below is a list of where they are from.
- Oman – Boswellia Sacra Frankincense or Hojari Frankincense

Many who do not know about this will assume that frankincense is just plain, but it is not. An example would be apples. There are apples available from all over the world, but the best quality may come from Japan or from the USA, and this is probably the best comparison I can share.
