Frankincense is also known as olibanum, a term derived from the Arabic al-lubán ("the milk"), referring to the milky substance extracted from the tree.

Olibanum is extracted from Boswellia serrata and has a characteristic citrus scent. Several types of frankincense are available depending on the plant species and harvest time.

Fun Fact:

It is interesting to note that frankincense has always been highly sought after, and history tells us many fascinating things about how ancient cultures used it. Tradition tells us that in Babylon, around 60,000 pounds of frankincense resin were burned every year for their aromas and their role in rituals. We also see the Magi bringing incense along with gold and myrrh to the baby Jesus, and since frankincense was the mixture used at the time and they had brought myrrh, it can therefore be inferred that the incense spoken of was frankincense and it was more than a costly and fragrant gift, the benefits of frankincense essential oil are well documented and have made this tree resin famous to this day.

Olibanum provides a general feeling of well-being and joy. It relieves anxiety, sadness and anger, purifies places and people, elevates vibrations.

Tones the energy channels and promotes the circulation of chi (or prana).

Lightens the mind and inclines towards spirituality: suitable for meditation, shamanic journeys, tai chi, qi gong and similar practices.

Useful in subtle healing or for creating “sacred spaces”. Excellent support for holistic practitioners.

Main benefits of olibanum oil:

• Helps to reduce stress and negative emotions
• Helps to boost the functions of the immune system
• Astringent and can kill harmful germs and bacteria
• Cares for the skin and prevents signs of aging
• Improves memory

Use of the resin: to burn it, charcoal discs must be used. They should be lit with a flame from a lighter or stove, so it is recommended to use tongs or similar to avoid unpleasant burns. When the charcoal begins to ignite over the entire surface, it is time to place it in the burner to burn the resin and add the resin itself.

Experts recommend putting a little sand around the essence burner to help it dissipate heat better.

All resins are sold in 50-gram bags.
