We have not had Frankincense Serrata resin in the shop for over a year because the only grades I could find were of a quality I couldn't sell in the shop. Some looked terrible and were made from low-grade material processed into tear-like lumps; another batch must have been sitting in plastic barrels and had absorbed an unpleasant aroma. Some I could return to the sellers, and one shipment had to be returned to the earth with a thank you.

Boswellia, or Frankincense Serrata, is likely one of the world's most well-known and most-used types of Frankincense. 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 with us.

Many of the therapeutic properties are attributed to its Boswellic acid content, compounds it shares with 5 other species of Frankincense.

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.

Like most types of Frankincense, when burned as incense, it 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.
