Frankincense Tears

Frankincense tears are aromatic resin droplets obtained from the Boswellia sacra tree, native to regions such as Oman, Yemen, and Somalia. The resin is extracted by making incisions in the bark of the tree, allowing it to bleed out and harden into tears or resinous chunks. Frankincense has been used for centuries in various cultures for its spiritual, medicinal, and cosmetic properties.

Frankincense tears are often used in incense and perfumes for their rich, woody aroma. They are also used in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits, such as anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. In aromatherapy, frankincense is believed to promote relaxation and reduce stress. Additionally, frankincense resin can be burned as incense to purify the air and create a calming atmosphere.
