FRANKINCENSE
The word Frankincense comes from the Old French expression “franc encens”, meaning high-quality incense. Commonly found in India, it comes from the Boswellia Tree. It is also found in other parts of the world, with the finest resin found in Somalia. Frankincense is derived from the sap of a tree, unlike Neem and Tulsi, which are themselves trees.

SUSTAINABILITY:
Sustainable sourcing of these trees has become very important, as there is a fear that frankincense tree populations are being threatened due to woodlands being converted into agricultural lands.
