 Frankincense select - 1 lb.
Latin Name : Bosewelia serrata Of all the natural resins, Frankincense is the one that has captured the attention of both mystic and doctor alike! Reknown both through ancient times and today for their wonderful ability to calm and sedate the human mind, this precious gum has been used extensively at places of worship. In the ancient Ayurvedic medical texts of India, the gummy exudate from boswellia is grouped with other gum resins, which are referred to collectively as guggals. Historically, these resins were recommended for a variety of conditions, including arthritis, diarrhea, dysentery, pulmonary disease, and ringworm. Boswellia is now known to contain anti-inflammatory triterpenoids called boswellic acids. Boswellic acid and its derivatives have anti-carcinogenic, anti-tumor, and blood lipid lowering activities. Dried extracts of the resin of the Boswellia serrata tree have been used since antiquity in India to treat inflammatory conditions. One of the most highly valued commodities of ancient times, frankincense was traded for porcelain by the Chinese, employed by Egyptians for embalming, presented to the infant Jesus as a symbolic gift and burned copiously by emperors during the height of the Roman Empire....
