Raw Resin

Our Boswellia Carterii Resin is an exudate of topmost quality from the tree trunks of Boswellia Carterii and is 100% Wildly Organic and Wildly Crafted.

Following sustainable harvesting practices, the resin is obtained by the Nagaad team alongside local communities. It has about three grades. The tree itself is a very distinct specie found majorly in Somalia, although it is believed to be a variable form of B. sacra. The resin itself has a dusty surface and is semi-translucent in appearance.

We produce Boswellia Carterii Frankincense in three grades depending on the size of the blocks or tears that come from the tree. The Frankincense is excellent for burning as incense and use in health remedies. In the past many of the Boswellia Carterii trees have been over-logged thereby forcing harvesters to travel further into the desert for quality resins.

Boswellia Carterii Frankincense produces a feeling of calm when inhaled. It slows down breathing and clears airways. It has antiseptic, astringent, cicatrizing, diuretic, digestive, uterine, and sedative properties. It is helpful for asthma sufferers as it eases shortness of breath.

The resin gum extracted from Boswellia Carterii is a superior resin also known as Yellow Frankincense as it has unusual different shares of yellow/brown color that seeps naturally from the tree. As with all Frankincense it is a powerful expectorant and very effective for respiratory issues such as colds, flu, asthma, and other lung issues.

1. Prepare the Charcoal Disc: Use a pair of tongs to securely hold a charcoal disc. Ignite the charcoal disc with an open flame, such as a lighter or a match. Exercise caution when doing this.
2. Wait for Cracks: Allow the charcoal disc to burn until it starts to crackle and turns white or gray on the surface. This typically takes a few minutes.
3. Place in a Burner or Heatproof Dish: Carefully transfer the ignited charcoal disc to an appropriate incense burner or a heatproof dish designed for this purpose. Ensure the burner or dish is on a stable, fire-resistant surface.
4. Wait for Full Ignition: Be patient and wait until the charcoal disc is fully ignited and evenly glowing. You’ll know it’s ready when the entire surface emits consistent, glowing heat. This step may take a few more minutes.
5. Prepare the Frankincense Resin: While waiting for the charcoal to ignite, select a small piece of frankincense resin. Alternatively, you can break a larger piece into smaller chunks for more controlled burning.
6. Place the Resin on the Charcoal: Once the charcoal disc is fully lit and glowing, carefully place the chosen piece of frankincense resin directly onto the center of the hot charcoal disc. Be cautious to avoid direct contact with the hot surface.
7. Allow it to Burn: As the frankincense resin is placed on the charcoal, it will start to smoulder and release its fragrant smoke. Enjoy the aromatic experience as it fills the space.
8. Adding More Resin: If desired, you can add more frankincense resin pieces to the burning charcoal as time goes on. This allows you to sustain the aromatic effect for an extended period.
