What Is Frankincense?

Did you know the word frankincense comes from the Old French word ‘franc encens’, meaning ‘high-quality incense’? Frankincense is a tree resin that has been used for centuries in religious ceremonies, as an ingredient in perfumes, incense, and cosmetics. It has a sweet, woody scent and is used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and stress relief. When it comes to tree resin, there are two things you need to know: what it is and why it’s so valuable. Resin is a sticky, organic substance that seeps out of trees when they’re wounded. It’s used by trees to heal themselves, but it also has a number of other uses.

So, what is this resin? It’s a sticky substance that has a number of uses, from healing wounds to being turned into incense. And it’s not just useful, it’s also valuable. Frankincense is harvested from the Boswellia tree, which grows in dry, rocky areas of the Arabian Peninsula, Africa, and India. The gum-like resin that is extracted from this tree is then used to make frankincense.
