Wiki / Indian Frankincense

Frankincense India comes from Boswellia serrata, a tree native to the dry mountain regions of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The resin has a characteristically warm, balsamic, and slightly spicy fragrance with honey notes.

In India, Boswellia serrata is known as Shallaki and has been an important component of Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. As an incense it is used in Hindu temples, during puja ceremonies, and in daily domestic devotional practice. It is said to purify the mind, deepen meditation, and provide spiritual protection.

Use: Place resin granules on incense charcoal. Warm, balsamic, and inviting.
