Description

Frankincense Carterii Resin—also known as Boswellia Carterii Resin or Olibanum resin—is a natural aromatic gum that seeps from the bark of the Boswellia Carterii tree. Often referred to as luban, this rare substance has been valued for centuries for its calming scent and healing properties.

Our resin is collected in the wild, deep in the rugged landscapes of Eastern Africa. It’s 100% natural, wild-harvested, and gathered by hand in collaboration with local communities. What makes this type of frankincense particularly special is the presence of Boswellic acids, which are known to help reduce inflammation.

When burned, the resin gives off a clean, citrus-balsamic fragrance. It’s not just pleasant—it also has a grounding, almost spiritual effect that many find comforting.

Raw Resin:

Sourced mainly from Somalia, our Frankincense Carterii Resin comes in three quality grades, based on the size and clarity of the resin pieces. The gum has a dusty surface and a semi-translucent appearance. Whether you're using it for incense or holistic remedies, its purity and effectiveness make it a favorite among practitioners and enthusiasts alike.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties:

Breathing in the smoke from this resin can help calm the mind and body. It’s often used to slow down breathing, open up airways, and ease symptoms related to asthma or chest tightness. In addition to being a respiratory aid, this resin has a long list of traditional uses—antiseptic, astringent, and even sedative effects among them.

Natural Color and Appearance:

The resin’s distinct golden-brown hue gives it the nickname Yellow Frankincense. Like other types of Olibanum resin, it acts as an expectorant and is often used in natural treatments for colds, flu, and other respiratory discomforts.
