It takes many Kilograms of standard Omani Frankincense resin to collect a handful of the prized 'Royal Hojari'. In turn, it takes many Kilograms of Royal Hojari Frankincense to gather a small amount of the coveted Royal Green Hojari Frankincense tears. The sorting process which involves women of the community for much of the year, each tear of Frankincense is graded by size shape and colour.
Royal Green Hojari Frankincense has a delicately sweet, Piney, minty, citrus note with a heart of soft Amber, the scent of this resin suits its unique colour.
A staple of churches, Mosques and temples worldwide, Frankincense Sacra resin is traditionally used as incense and medicine.
Frankincense Sacra from Arabia and Oman is one of the five frankincense types that contain Boswellic acids. These are therapeutically active compounds that have been in the news a lot the past decade and are thought to be behind the plethora of conditions addressed with Frankincense in traditional medicine.
Royal Green Hojari Frankincense is ideal for the preparation of incense blends, therapeutic oils, salves, cremes and tinctures. In many Arabian cultures, it is infused overnight in water, ( a teaspoon of tears to a cup of room temperature water), and sipped throughout the following day for its therapeutic qualities. You can find the tincture and the oleo-extract of this resin in the shop.
Royal Green Hojari Frankincense is easy to work with and its beautiful fragrance follows it through every product you make.
