Frankincense has been used for centuries. The benefits associated with it are many. Zproyecto founder and owner, Zakiya Dhiyab Hamed Al Zakwani tells us more about the purity and benefits of this magical ingredient.
Frankincense comes in many types, of differing quality. It comes from countries such as Oman, Yemen and Africa. It is known worldwide that the best frankincense of the highest quality and luxury is sourced from Salalah, Dhofar in the Sultanate of Oman.
Light green frankincense is the most expensive frankincense, also known as Royal Green Hojari. It is very rare, so usually kept for royalty to enjoy. Even if you do source it, the price is triple to four times of the more common White Hojari ‘tears’. These are the first ‘tears’ released by the frankincense (Boswellia Sacra) tree.
In Oman, many families use frankincense to purify their homes, offices, and environment. Frankincense helps remove impurities from an environment, giving the ambience a cleanse. This is done by burning the resin over burning coal, to return the spirituality and purity.
Benefits of Frankincense
Frankincense has a unique ability to purify an environment, bringing in peace, calm and tranquility.
It is used in various ways for its health benefits.
Submerge two or three medium size pieces of resin overnight in 330ml of water and then drink the water on an empty stomach in the early morning (if you have any illnesses please consult a doctor prior to starting).
Benefits:
– Helps with gastrointestinal problems, spasms, and constipation.
– Helps purify the blood stream, therefore cleansing our body from impurities and consequently giving us a glowing beautiful skin.

As incense, simply light it on a burning coal or hot surface, to release its aromatic magic.
