The origins of natural incense

On all continents and throughout the ages, whether in Asia, America or Africa, many people have discovered the benefits of fumigating certain plants or woods.

They were burned in order to honor the gods but also to cure various ailments.

As far as natural incense is concerned, also called frankincense, it is in fact a resin coming from the woods, leaves and gums of the tree called Boswellia. This type of tree grows in certain African countries such as Somalia, Yemen or Ethiopia. An incision in the tree allows to collect the sap which, left to rest for a few days, allows to obtain the famous resin so sought after. A tree can produce up to 10 kg of resin in a year.

Today, incense does not only refer to the resin coming from this tree but to a much wider range of plant substances which are, in turn, burned in order to take advantage of the pleasant and therapeutic fragrance that they can provide.

Thus, today there are countless different incenses with different virtues and characteristics! It becomes more and more complicated to find the incense which will really correspond to your needs!
