Boswellia rivae is one of the darker species of Frankincense characterized by its fresh, slightly sweet scent with woody and floral notes. This variety is favored for its uplifting and invigorating properties, often used to enhance mood and promote mental clarity.
Frankincense resin is one of the world’s most important tree resins. Its sweet, rich scented smoke has been used religiously, ceremonially, and spiritually cross-culturally for ages. Traditionally it is used for sacred offerings, energetic alignment, healing, meditation, and much more.
Many of the ecological practices, economic impacts, and cultural traditions surrounding the harvesting of Frankincense trees are in danger. More often than not, Frankincense is sourced unsustainably. Therefore, it is important to support the eco-friendly, sustainable trade of this powerful and symbolic ancient incense resin.
Origins: Our Frankincense resin (Boswellia rivae) is sustainably harvested and ethically sourced from Somalia through our tribal co-operative partners. These particular wild harvesters are trained in healthy caretaking of the trees and even help to expand their populations. All of our products at Higher Mind Incense are free of chemicals or pesticides and are fair-trade and ethically sourced.
How to use: Burn our incense resins on top of our Natural Charcoal. Sprinkle small granules of resin onto a red hot charcoal and enjoy. You can also crush or powder our resins and add them to your incense recipes.
