ABOUT
Green Frankincense is a type of frankincense resin called 'hojari' or 'houjari' that is harvested from the Boswellia sacra tree in Oman. It is considered to be the highest quality of frankincense and is prized for its delicate, citrusy scent. It is traditional to burn frankincense daily in households in the Gulf Arab states.
Green Frankincense has a long history of use in traditional medicine, and is believed to have a number of health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and antibacterial properties. It is also used in aromatherapy and is said to promote relaxation, improve mood, and boost the immune system.
The botany of green frankincense is complex. The tree that produces the resin is a member of the Burseraceae family and is native to the Arabian Peninsula. The tree grows to a height of about 10 meters and has a smooth, gray bark. The resin is produced when the bark of the tree is cut. The cut is made about an inch long. The harvesting of frankincense is hand-collected as some of the trees are difficult to reach. It is a labor-intensive process. After the collection, the luban or frankincense is dried and sorted.
The history of green frankincense is longest and storied. The resin was first mentioned in ancient Egyptian texts and was used in religious ceremonies and mummification. It was also used by the Greeks and Romans for its medicinal properties.
Today, green frankincense is still used in traditional medicine and aromatherapy. It is also a popular ingredient in cosmetics and perfumes.
