Frankincense was among the earliest incenses, with 3,000 years of continual religious usage. Valued as highly as gold, it was long used by the Egyptians for religious and ceremonial purposes. Mentioned several times in the Holly Bible, the Noble Quran, Indian Veda and Egyptian scrolls. Frankincense grows wild in the deserts of Somalia, Ethiopia, and Saudi Arabia. The essential oil is colourless with a warm, balsamic, spicy aroma that is dry and fortifying with sweet undertones.
A small tree, it has small leaves and pale pink flowers. The whole tree has abundant resin that exudes a milky juice which hardens to 'tears' on exposure to the air. The solid 'tears' are then collected.
