ABOUT OLIBANUM

Boswellia frereana is a small evergreen tree growing up to 8m tall, though usually smaller. The plant has a very long history of human use with evidence that it was used by the ancient Egyptians over 3,500 years ago. It is often cultivated and harvested from the wild for its aromatic resin known as Olibanum.

Boswellia frereana is a species of plant native to Somalia where the locals call it ‘Dhidin’ or ‘Maydi’. It is often revered by locals as ‘the King of all Frankincense’. In the West, Olibanum is sometimes called ‘Coptic Frankincense’. This is the type and grade of Olibanum used by the Coptic Church of Egypt.

Other than its incense uses, it has a long history of medicinal applications as well. Its often made into an oil or paste and directly applied to sore joints to treat inflammation and arthritis.

Currently 80% of worlds premium quality Olibanum resin production is sold direct to Saudi Arabian markets where it is traditionally purchased by Muslim pilgrims as gifts. The remaining 20% is sold to other markets around the world.

Olibanum continues to be recognised for its many virtues. It can be burned as incense, made into medicinal oil or consumed in liquid form when mixed with water. Olibanum has traditionally been used as an antiseptic, anti-viral agent, astringent, anti-depressant, expectorant, as well as a general healing remedy and immune system booster.

HOW TO USE OLIBANUM RESIN

Olibanum resin can be burnt on charcoal discs as a sacred incense. It can also be ingested or made into an oil and used on the skin and joints for amazing health benefits.
