What is Indian Frankincense?
Indian frankincense thrives on the dry slopes and gravelly soils of the Indian subcontinent. When the bark is incised, the tree releases an oleo-gum resin that hardens into opaque flakes. This variety boasts a millennial tradition of use in medicine and rituals, symbolizing the connection between the earthly and the divine.
About the Scent
The aroma of Indian frankincense is powerful, spicy, and infused with citrus notes. When burned, it emits a rich smoke that fills the room with a sweet, balsamic fragrance, more intense than African or Arabian varieties.
Effects
Indian frankincense incense simultaneously purifies and energetically uplifts, facilitating alignment with higher light. Use in meditation deepens communication with the higher self, releases chakra blockages, and improves overall mood.
