Description
Powdered fresh by us to guarantee quality.
Frankincense Papyrifera from Ethiopia. Boswellia Papyrifera. A source of Boswellic acids, Incensole. Incensole acetate. For medicine, perfume, and Incense.
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 feelings of anxiety and depression and improve memory function. Other research has indicated that Incensole Acetate shows neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties and may be of use in cases of stroke and head trauma. It is presumed that Incensole and Incensole Acetate are also absorbed by the body 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 anti-cancer activity in the lab.

This comes in very handy when I want to create something and don’t have the time (or motivation…lol) to grind the resin myself.

This is, by far, my favorite resin. I'm infusing it in jojoba oil and I can't wait until it's ready. I will continue to be a repeat customer for this beauty!

If you smell the powder form right off the bag, it smells exactly like church incense, however I applied a hot etanol extraction to it, I think the alcohol solved mosttly the camphorous content of the resin, because the ethanol extract smells exactly like eucalyptuous cough balsams, nothing like church incense, most of the 30g resin poweder remain undisssolved on the bottom by the way.I will try to get an hot oil extraction for the undissolved sediment after sucking out the ethanol extract and drying off the residues to resin powder again.

This is an excellent powder. I use it to prepare oil and alcohol extracts of this form of frankincense. I use the oil extracts on the skin, primarily
for treatment of arthritis. I also bought some of the B. papyrifera absolute which I take orally and it helps my arthritis. Dan provides very good natural products which he travels extensively to find. He is always generous with his materials . I very much appreciate the quality and friendliness of his shop.
