What Is Raw Frankincense Resin?
Raw frankincense is the gum resin from the Boswellia tree, which grows in Oman’s deserts and other parts of the Gulf region in the Middle East. Its history dates back over 8,000 years when the Arabs traded it with various other civilizations during the great Frankincense Trail.
Frankincense has a rich history traces back to the biblical story of the Three Wise Men, who presented the Christ Child with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This ancient resin, known as Boswellia Sacra, has been traditionally used in folk medicine for centuries to treat various ailments and diseases.
Its applications include addressing inflammatory conditions, strengthening teeth and gums, stimulating digestion, combating bad breath, relieving arthritic joint pain and supporting cancer treatment.
To delve deeper into the fascinating history of frankincense, you can explore its origins on Wikipedia or explore its Arabian heritage through the Middle East Institute’s detailed writings. For additional context, the Boswellia Sacra frankincense resin or gum is also called Olibanum in Arabic, further highlighting its cultural and historical significance.
How Is Frankincense Produced?
Frankincense resin is obtained by making incisions in the tree’s bark and allowing the sap to seep. The sap is left to harden for about ten days before the resin tears are carefully harvested.
Once collected, the resin tears are dried for approximately two weeks until they fully solidify into raw frankincense pieces. After drying, harvesters meticulously sort the resin tears by hand, grading them based on colour variations such as white, green, yellow, brown, and black.
What Kind of Frankincense do We Sell?
We exclusively offer frankincense resin sourced from Oman, as the Hojari Green Frankincense from this region is renowned as the finest quality frankincense in the world. Known as Omani Boswellia Sacra Frankincense, this exceptional resin is harvested exclusively in Oman, located in the Middle East.
While frankincense is produced in various countries, it can be challenging to determine which type is the most suitable for use or consumption. The highest grade, the Royal Sultan Hojari, is reserved for the Omani royal family and is nearly impossible to find in the open market.
The next tier, Hojari Royal Green Frankincense, is part of the Grade A quality and is what we provide. This medicinal-grade frankincense is highly sought after by people worldwide and is widely regarded as the most popular and premium-grade frankincense available.
We also sell sacred frankincense essential oils, which are made from Royal Green Hojari resins.
As the grades start to get lower, the next is the yellow, brown, and black frankincense, which are among the lower Oman grades but still have higher quality than other country grades. Several Boswellia Sacra frankincense gum-resin grades hail from Oman, including Hojari, Najdi, Shazri, and Shabi.
Hojari resin is also known as Royal Hojari Green because it is the highest grade and has a beautiful green tint compared to the other grades. For the aroma, the Royal Hojari Green frankincense produces a deep, slightly spicy, wooded resin aroma with hints of citrus, menthol, and even eucalyptus.
