Frankincense

Natural Frankincense

Frankincense is a natural resin extracted from the Boswellia sacra tree by cutting its bark, allowing a clear, aromatic gum to flow out. This gum hardens in the air, forming luxurious, pearlescent granules with a legendary fragrance. It is considered one of the holiest and most precious natural materials in human history — mentioned in heavenly books and weighed in gold in ancient civilizations. It has been used in temples of ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Arab lands for thousands of years. It contains the unique compound Boswellic acid, which has made it the focus of thousands of modern scientific studies for its exceptional anti-inflammatory properties.

At Al-Mawaddah store, we offer you pure natural frankincense of the highest purity and quality, retaining all its precious resin and aromatic oils.
