Frankincense Serrata Powder

We prepare Frankincense Serrata powder as needed. The process is not as simple as it may seem. Frankincense resin contains moisture and this moisture must be released each time we grind the resin which is usually twice. We grind, sift then dry.and a week or so later, we grind, sift and dry it again for a week or so before packaging it. Nothing else is done to the resin. Nothing is removed and nothing is added to it.

Boswellia or Frankincense Serrata, is likely one of the most well-known and well-used types of Frankincense in the world. Also called Indian Olibanum and Salai in India, its traditional medicinal uses are well recorded.

Used extensively for hundreds of years in the Indian healing tradition of Ayurveda, Frankincense Serrata is considered an NSAID (or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), causing little to no side effects or irritation compared to steroidal drugs. I cannot mention the therapeutic properties of my raw materials here for legal reasons so I encourage you to explore and research the wealth of health benefits that studies worldwide have shared.

Many of the therapeutic properties in Frankincense Serrata powder are attributed to its Boswellic acid content, compounds it shares with other types of Frankincense resin.

Growing from India up through Punjab and into Pakistan, Frankincense Serrata is used extensively as an incense and incense ingredient in local rituals and ceremonies. It's distilled essential oil has a warm amber-like spicy fragrance that acts as a heart to base note in perfume blends.

Frankincense Serrata is also used in traditional Chinese medicine. Extracts and capsules of B. Serrata are widely available on the market and commonly found on health food store shelves.

When burned as incense, Frankincense Serrata powder helps cleanse a space and create a sense of sacredness. Frankincense is ruled by the Sun from an astrological point of view, is calming to mind and heart, helps raise one's spirits, and is said to generate heightened feelings of spirituality and well-being.
