Until recently, in our North American market, there was little choice as far as the type of Frankincense resin or essential oil one could buy, and it was almost impossible to acquire the rare types of frankincense such as Frankincense Papyrifera.

Frankincense has been a valuable commodity and a very important part of our global cultures, religions and trade for thousands of years, highly valued for its medicinal, spiritual and aromatic uses, it is only recently that the different types of Frankincense have been examined closely and their unique chemical compositions studied.

Ruled astrologically by the Sun, all types of Frankincense are anti-inflammatory, calming to the mind and spirit and aid in meditation and spiritual work.

Boswellia, or Frankincense Papyrifera, is distinguished from other types of Frankincense by the presence of Boswellic acids, Incensole and Incensole Acetate. Studies have shown that Incensole Acetate affects our central nervous system and possesses psychoactive properties. According to studies, Incensole Acetate can generate heightened feelings of well-being and spirituality, reduce anxiety and depression and improve memory function. It is presumed that the body also absorbs Incensole and Incensole Acetate through the smoke released during the burning of Frankincense as an incense. One can see why this has been an ideal incense for spiritual/religious purposes in churches and temples for millennia.

The Boswellic acids that Frankincense Papyrifera contains have been researched extensively and show powerful therapeutic activity in the lab.

Absolutely amazing

I’ve gotten several orders and I see a huge difference in my skin, overall heath, I love the incense all natural a breath of fresh air and masterfully alchemically made chef’s kiss

Amazing scent

When I received it, it did not smell like anything in the raw form, but when i burned it, it smells so good, that I used it everyday since I got it.

A must try.

Papyrifera is one of a kind and Dan always supplies the absolute best quality you can find. In incense this goes perfect with meditations, prayers, setting the mood or cleansing rituals.

Absolutely amazing quality of Frankincense!, Beautiful scent profile, burns nice, and induces deep relaxation. Perfect for prayer, or just a quiet evening at home. I love it!
Apothecary's Garden is definitely the number one supplier for me when it comes to any type of Frankincense or basically any type of precious resin. Always top quality and always fresh.

Beautiful scent

I enjoyed this frankincense very much, it was of an exceptional quality.

Apothecaries Garden is the only place to buy Frankincense and other resins

I only buy from Dan who sources his products ethically and respects the people who are his suppliers.
I was initially introduced to the Apothecaries Garden through perfumer and teacher Justine Crane of the Natural Perfume Academy. If you make perfume or create incense you will not go wrong sourcing your ingredients here. Long live small businesses like this!!!!

I love Apothecary's Garden, and they have...

I love Apothecary's Garden, and they have beautiful resins. This particular species of frankincense however, does not have a strong aroma, it's quite creamy and has a musty smell to it. I bought the resins as well as the essential oil, and it's the same thing. It may work well blended with other stronger incenses.
