Popular Uses and Medical Treatments of Frankincense

Natural resins played an important role in the daily life and rituals of religious ceremonies of aromatic aroma and its various medicinal effects since ancient. Boswellia, one of the most important natural resins, is the subject of our research. The Boswellia plants are species of Saponins. They produce aromatic resins given by laticiferous ducts through a process of stripping the bark of the branches; a yellow gum is released, then frozen in natural conditions in small granules known as Boswellia resins or frankincense. Through the study of combinations and mixtures contained in some manuscripts and modern research, it was found that frankincense was used in several fields in different historical periods. It is still used in religious ceremonies in Roman Catholic, Episcopal, Orthodox and Indian churches.
