Description
Frankincense Sacra from Oman. Boswellia Sacra.
This is a very fragrant and fresh shipment. It is beautiful burned as incense and makes a gorgeous smelling oil extract for lotions, salves and medicated oils.
There is an ongoing debate among botanists whether Boswellia Carterii from Somalia and Boswellia Sacra which grows in Oman are the same species or different. This debate could, and likely will go on for decades.
A staple of churches and temples around the world, Frankincense resin is traditionally used as incense and medicine. Its essential oil is distilled for perfumery and aromatherapy.
It is one of 4 frankincense types that is rich in Boswellic acids.
Since Boswellia Sacra contains the Boswellic acids in its resin, (Not the essential oil!), it is ideal for the preparation of therapeutic oils, salves, cremes and tinctures. It is easy to work with and its beautiful fragrance follows it through every product you make.
It is traditionally used to make Frankincense tea and the tears are often chewed as a healthy alternative to sweetened artificial gum.
For information about traditional medicinal uses and instructions for preparing Frankincense resin please see my post-https://apothecarysgarden.com/2018/02/28/frankincense-medicine-truth-myth-and-misinformation/

Please note, our “Ounces” are not 25 grams as with most sellers, (a standard Ounce is actually 28.3 Grams), they are 30 Grams and my helpers are instructed to ALWAYS add more and NEVER less to each bag of resin. If you weigh the item you purchased you will confirm this.

These two types of frankincense smell divine and I can’t wait to start using them. So glad I found a sustainable source (via The Northwest School of Aromatic Medicine)

This is my 3rd order from ApothecarysGarden, and my 2nd order of this frank sacra. As with everything you will find in this shop, this is of incredibly high quality. This frankincense is a great choice for making oils – very healing, lots of benefits, and quite affordable.
The anti-aging results I have gotten from my oils made with frankincense and myrrh from this shop have been incredible. If you want the best results, you need to use the best materials, and having bought some things elsewhere – what you will find in this shop is the best of the best. Dan's blog is super helpful, too – I recommend you check it out.
The shipping is incredibly fast, too. Dan ships quickly, and while he doesn't control the mail, it comes really quickly to the US from Canada. I got this one in 9 days, and that's including a weekend.

To be honest I do not know how to use this product. I purchased to add in tea to help with pain and inflammation, it didn’t really help. The fragrance it wonderful though.

The scent is really unique. Sharp and sweet at the same time. I usually work with other Boswellia resins but so far this one is a pleasure just by itself. I am also pleasantly surprised how fast my purchase was delivered.
