Frankincense
Boswellia serrata — resin
A resin with a longer trade history than most nations.
Frankincense has moved along trade routes for thousands of years, tapped from trees that grow slowly and give little at a time.
Ours is sourced from Boswellia serrata trees native to India, tapped for their resin in the traditional way — a practice unchanged by how far the ingredient has traveled since.
It's included in our powder blend in its resin form, the same form it has taken for millennia before it was ever put in a jar.
Slow to give, and worth the wait.
Burned, brewed, and carried across continents.
In Ayurvedic tradition, frankincense resin has been used to support joint comfort and respiratory ease. Across many cultures, it has also held a place in spiritual practice, burned as incense for thousands of years.
We include it for the first reason — frankincense is traditionally used to support joint comfort as part of a daily botanical practice, not as a treatment for any diagnosed condition.
Traditional and modern preparation.
Traditional: Chewed as resin, or prepared as a decoction in Ayurvedic practice.
