Organic Indian Frankincense - 100g

Frankincense, also known as Olibanum is made from the resin of a Boswellia tree, a small, shrubby tree that is native to hot, dry, desert climates. The resin of this fascinating tree, native to India, Oman, Ethiopia, Somalia, Yemen and Saudi Arabia, has been used for over 5,000 years. It has been highly regarded as a medicine, an aromatic perfume, a ceremonial tool, and was once worth even more than gold.

Mystic Soul Frankincense comes from the Western state of Gujarat in India, very close to the border of Madhya Pradesh.  It is 100% organic, unmixed & extremely high quality.   

Frankincense has been used for thousands of years. It was so highly treasured that it was brought as one of the gifts of the Wise Men to be presented at Jesus birth.  The resin was also found in the tombs of Egyptian mummies, used not only as an embalming agent, but also as an offering to help the departed souls make their journey to the afterlife.

Amongst many cultures around the world the fragrance of this resin was believed to increase one’s spiritual connection and intuition. The Chinese called it “fanhunxiang” meaning “calling back the soul fragrance.” It is often used in meditation, since the scent is calming, grounding and pleasant to the senses. It is purifying, helps one to become more present in the moment and encourages feelings of peace.

To burn the dried resin use a small charcoal disc,(The ones used in Hookah/Shisha pipes) light the charcoal on the outside on a fire-proof dish and when it finishes smoking and sparking it should simply glow. Place 1 to 3 small pieces of resin on the charcoal and it will start to burn immediately. The resulting incense is pleasant and sweet and can be used to clear and purify the air & protect against negativity.

Mystic Soul Frankincense comes in a 100 gram resealable pouch.
