Frankincense Products
Frankincense, the aromatic resin derived from various Boswellia tree species, boasts a rich history of human utilization spanning millennia. This precious substance has been employed both as incense and for medicinal purposes. Historical accounts suggest that it was presented as a gift during the birth of Jesus and have even been discovered in the tombs of ancient Egyptians. Notably, Queen Hatshepsut (1507-1458 BCE) is believed to have led an expedition to the ancient Land of Punt, in part, to procure additional reserves of this resin. We export Boswellia carterii and Boswellia frerena resins which only can be found in Somalia. Also, myrrh resin.
Boswellia Frereana Known As Maydi
Boswellia Frereana, commonly recognized as Maydi originates from Somalia and is frequently hailed as the ‘Monarch of Frankincense.’ It exudes a robust, rich, and zesty fragrance with lemony undertones.
Boswellia Certeri Knows as Beeyo:
Boswellia Carteri, also known as Beeyo is sourced from Somalia and boasts a delicate, refreshing, and gentle scent. It is commonly referred to as olibanum and finds versatile applications, including its use in perfumes and as an essential oil.
Myrrh Resin
Myrrh originating from Somalia, is a reddish-brown resin or sap-like material characterized by a bitter, sharp flavour and a sweet, delightful fragrance. To obtain it, the tree is split in half, allowing the resin to dry before it is gathered. Myrrh is employed in various applications, including perfumes, aromatherapy, and medicinal treatments.
