Boswellia Occulta has been present in the region for centuries, but remained unrecognised by botanists until its recent discovery. The name “Occulta” derives from Latin “Occultus,” meaning hidden, reflecting its late discovery despite being an important commercial crop locally. The species is sometimes called 'occult frankincense' in reference to its hidden nature and recent identification. The resins from frankincense trees are hand-sorted for quality, ensuring that only the best material is used for various applications. The frankincense resins are often harvested and processed for incense.

Locally abundant and an important commercial crop, Boswellia Occulta resin was often mixed with local Frankincense Carterii, commonly regarded as the same tree. However, botanists confirmed Boswellia Occulta is distinct with wavy-edged leaves. Historically, Boswellia Occulta resin has been hand-sorted for quality and traded along ancient routes, underscoring its cultural and economic significance.

As we move through nature's seasons, enjoy the variation in colour and resin size, depending on the amount of rainfall for the season.   Usage Tips Tip for burning on charcoal: Once your charcoal disc is fully lit we recommend leaving it to cool for about 5-10 minutes or until it turns grey before placing your resin on top of the charcoal.  This helps to release the natural oil from your resin without burning it with intense heat. Remember, once the bottom of your resin starts to burn, safely flip it over with a pair of mini tongs to get the most out of your resin.  Tip for burning on a tea light burner: After your resin has been gently heating for about 45 minutes (depending on your resin size and dimensions of your burner) you'll notice your resin may start to burn.  This is when it needs to be turned over. We recommend using a pair of mini tongs to safely flip your resin over and squash it once it's been softened by the heat. Squashing the resin open will expose it to a greater surface area of heat which helps to optimise the benefits of your resin. Tip if your resin size is too big: We recommend using a hand mortar and pestle (or similar tool) to create your desired size (if required).

Locally known as Shallaki, Salai Guggul, and Salai, this resin has been a cornerstone of Ayurvedic treatments for centuries. Ancient health practices recognised and harnessed the potential of this natural remedy long before modern science caught up. In addition to its medicinal uses, Boswellia Serrata has been explored for other purposes such as treating asthma, diabetes, and stroke, although substantial scientific evidence is still needed to validate these applications. Introduction to Indian Frankincense Indian Frankincense, also known as Boswellia serrata, is a deciduous tree native to the regions of India and Pakistan. This tree is one of the four main species that produce the resin used in religious rituals, incense burning, and traditional medicines. The resin, commonly referred to as boswellia resin, is a key ingredient in producing a popular essential oil used in aromatherapy. For centuries, Indian Frankincense has been revered for its ability to treat various health conditions, particularly chronic inflammatory illnesses such as arthritis, bronchial asthma, and ulcerative colitis. The boswellia extract, rich in boswellic acids, is known for its potent anti-inflammatory activity, making it a valuable natural remedy for supporting joint health and reducing inflammation. Chemical Composition and Boswellia Extract The chemical composition of Indian Frankincense is a complex blend of compounds, with boswellic acids being the most notable for their anti-inflammatory activity. The boswellia extract is derived from the resin of the tree and is widely used in supplements and herbal extracts. This extract has shown significant efficacy in treating chronic inflammatory illnesses, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and chronic colitis. For instance, a randomized double-blind trial published in the Eur J Med Res demonstrated that boswellia extract effectively reduced symptoms of bronchial asthma. The active compounds in boswellia serrata extract work by inhibiting pro-inflammatory enzymes, thereby reducing inflammation and alleviating symptoms in patients with these conditions. Health Benefits of Boswellia Serrata Boswellia Serrata, commonly known as Indian Frankincense, stands out for its remarkable reported health benefits. The resin from this tree, a powerhouse of therapeutic properties, is reportedly extensively used in Ayurveda to manage conditions like arthritis and asthma.

Clinical studies have also highlighted Boswellia Serrata’s potential benefits for patients suffering from knee pain, particularly those with osteoarthritis. Let’s dive deeper into the specific health benefits of Boswellia Serrata, starting with its reported potent anti-inflammatory activity. Anti-inflammatory Activity The reported anti-inflammatory prowess of Boswellia Serrata is largely attributed to its primary active compound, boswellic acid. Boswellic acids are reported to inhibit pro-inflammatory enzymes, thus playing a crucial role in reducing inflammation and alleviating symptoms of various inflammatory conditions. Research indicates that Boswellia Serrata is particularly effective in treating chronic inflammatory illnesses such as rheumatoid arthritis and ulcerative colitis. Incorporating Boswellia is reported to provide significant relief from joint and muscle pain, making it a preferred natural remedy for managing arthritis. While Boswellia Serrata has shown benefits for conditions like ulcerative colitis, the evidence regarding its effectiveness against collagenous colitis is unclear, indicating a lack of significant benefit in maintaining remission for affected patients. It is also reported that topical applications of boswellia may also assist in alleviating skin issues and inflammation. Boswellia Serrata’s reported anti-inflammatory properties provide a natural alternative to conventional treatments, illustrating its potential in modern healthcare. Pain Relief Boswellia Serrata has been reported to have demonstrated significant efficacy in providing pain relief, particularly for those suffering from knee osteoarthritis. The pain-relieving effects of Boswellia are not limited to osteoarthritis. Research indicates that this herbal extract can significantly reduce discomfort associated with various conditions, thanks to its potent anti-inflammatory activity. This may make it an attractive option for those looking to manage pain naturally. Additionally, Boswellia formulations have been suggested to alleviate genitourinary pain in men experiencing prostatitis-like symptoms, highlighting its potential therapeutic benefits in addressing discomfort associated with this condition. Furthermore, topical applications of boswellia oil have been reported to provide localised relief for joint or muscle discomfort.

Treating Bronchial Asthma Boswellia Serrata contains beta-boswellic acid, reported for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, which can be particularly beneficial for managing bronchial asthma. The reported anti-inflammatory effects of boswellic acids are reported to help reduce inflammation in the bronchial tubes, a critical factor in asthma management. Studies have reported that the frankincense, which contains compounds from Boswellia, may alleviate psychological stresses such as depression and anxiety, which often accompany asthma. This dual benefit of physical and psychological relief positions Boswellia Serrata as a promising natural remedy for asthma sufferers.

The easy light charcoal lights instantly. Always use tongs to hold the charcoal before igniting.  Do NOT handle the charcoal when in use, this will cause harm.    Disposal: Dispose of the ash responsibly otherwise it may cause fire.  Never dispose into a bin with paper or other combustible materials.  

⭐️ Sustainably and ethically harvested at fair market rates.  Love for earth with 100% compostable pouches. ⭐️ Boswellia Dalzielii Frankincense resin, more commonly known as Harrabi, is a remarkable frankincense resin rarely encountered. It has a fresh, lemony rather than spicy and woody essence. Many find the scent of the Boswellia Dalzielii Frankincense to be quite pleasant, especially if they enjoy the Boswellia Sacra Hojari varieties from Oman such as Royal Green Hojari, Sultan Royal Hojari, and the premium Hojari Frankincense. With a sweet, soothing aroma, Harrabi Frankincense resin is sure to delight your senses and help create a tranquil ambiance. Don’t miss your chance to experience this rare quality of frankincense. To ensure integrity and transparency, we regularly update our product photos to show our 'fresh current batch' of resins.  Choose from a range of resin size to suit your personal needs. To ensure our resins are always FRESH, we don't keep excess stock. When we sell out of our current batch, where possible we turn on our "Pre-Order" button which means you can reserve your NEW FRESH resins from our NEW FRESH HARVEST. As we move through nature's seasons, enjoy the variation in colour and resin size, depending on the amount of rainfall for the season. Usage Tips Tip for burning on charcoal: Once your charcoal disc is fully lit we recommend leaving it to cool for about 5-10 minutes or until it turns grey before placing your resin on top of the charcoal.  This helps to release the natural oil from your resin without burning it with intense heat. Remember, once the bottom of your resin starts to burn, safely flip it over with a pair of mini tongs to get the most out of your resin.  Tip for burning on a tea light burner: After your resin has been gently heating for about 45 minutes (depending on your resin size and dimensions of your burner) you'll notice your resin may start to burn.  This is when it needs to be turned over. We recommend using a pair of mini tongs to safely flip your resin over and squash it once it's been softened by the heat. Squashing the resin open will expose it to a greater surface area of heat which helps to optimise the benefits of your resin. Tip if your resin size is too big: We recommend using a hand mortar and pestle (or similar tool) to create your desired size (if required). Storage & Safety Storage: Resins are a natural product and need to be stored with care.  Store in a cool, dry place away from UV sunlight exposure.
