Boswellia papyrifera – Gold Frankincense

Boswellia papyrifera is a species of flowering tree of the Boswellia family and a frankincense that is native to Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sudan. The tree is cultivated in Ethiopia because of its valuable resin. The incense smoke is characterized by a fresh lemon-pine scent, and is therefore highly esteemed. The resin of Boswellia papyrifera are semi-translucent yellow tears.

Key Benefits of Gold Frankincense:

Fragrance: light and fresh fragrance with a sweet pine note and a soft floral top note
Properties: Frankincense preserves spiritual energy, promote mediation, help to maintain a clear mind, increasing perception, cleansing and purification of soul and surroundings.

How to Burn Gold Frankincense Resin:

Light the charcoal with matches or lighter for about 20 seconds until it self-ignites. Use tongs to hold it up (never hold it with your fingers alone or you might get burned). Place the lit charcoal in a bowl or any incense burner. The bowl or incense burner should be filled with sand or dirt.  Let the charcoal warm for a few minutes. (It turns gray around the edges when it is ready)  Now you are ready! Add a small amount of frankincense resin on top of the charcoal. The frankincense resin will burn and soon release essential, aromatic oils through the smoke. Continue to place resins or powder on charcoal as they burn out and smoke decreases for a continuous burn.
