The heavy fragrant resins were placed in an Israeli made clay jar in Israel for 18 days in a dry, cool place to absorb the energy of the Holy Land of ISRAEL and it is then packaged for market or distilled by traditional method in Israel for its lovely Essential oil. This process is what we call “Holy Land Charged” Resins. This gives our resin higher energy and frequency for healing.
Frankincense Boswellia Thurifera grows in the regions of Yemen, North and East Africa and is found in Jordon. The trees are larger in size compared to that of Boswellia Papyifera, Boswella Sacra, or Boswella Carterii. Used widely by the Jordanian people and it has been scientifically tested to show that it helps promote fertility mainly by affecting pituitary gland cells.
Some Israeli scholars believe this may be the Frankincense used in anointing oil mentioned in the Torah which was used to anoint Kings and Priests of the Holy Temple vessels. The species Frankincense Boswella Sacra was reserved for Ketoret Incense in the Holy Temple. Frankincense Boswellia Rivae grew near Bethlehem and Jericho Valley area of Israel and was most likely used as medicine and perfume while Sacra was used only in the Holy Temple Incense. Scholars believe that Frankincense Boswella Rivae and Frankincense Boswellia Thurifera were most likely introduced to Queen Sheebathrough Israel’s King Solomon.
Frankincense Thurifera grows wild along the shores of the Red Sea from Eritrea, Yemen, up to Akwaba and Egypt into the western regions. It is a traditional incense and medicine in these areas. This resin was carried all the way to China and is used in Chinese medicine to move and invigorate the blood. In China this resin is known as Ru Xiang 乳香 Frankincense and Fan Hun Xiang (meaning “calling back the soul aroma.”
It is highly likely the name “Thurifera” refers to a well-known incense burned called Thuribles. However, thurible is a metal censer suspended from chains, in which incense of Frankincense is burned during worship services. The practice is rooted in the earlier traditions of Judaism in the time of the HolyTemple and the Mishkan (Holy Tabernacle) of the wilderness.
Frankincense Boswellia thurifera is very well known for its anti-aging and skin rejuvenating properties and finds its way into many cosmetic industries around the world. This Frankincense was found in many perfumes and healing recipes that were passed down for generations.
It is indeed the type of Frankincense one finds abundant in the old city of Jerusalem where the oldest Jewish Bet Knesset (Synagogues), Christian Churches, and Muslim Mosque are located. Since it shares so many physical traits with Boswellia Sacra, Carterii, it may have the same high content of Boswellic acid in this resin as well, but never formally tested

Biblical texts: Exodus 30:34-38, Leviticus 2:15, Leviticus 5:11, Leviticus 24:7, Song of Solomon 4:6, and Song of Solomon 4:14
Frankincense one of the most important ancient production facilities of this oil was found east of Bethlehem at the oasis of Ein Gedi on the shore of the Dead Sea. The Song of Songs mentions the fragrance of the perfumed trees growing at Ein Gedi, which was known as “Arugot Habosem”.
Frankincense was one of the ingredients in the holy Ketoret incense, burned daily by specially trained and G-d ordained priests from the Mishkan Tabernacle in the desert to Solomon’s Mighty Temple in Jerusalem the Capital City of Israel. Frankincense Boswellia Thurifera was most likely used in the Holy Anointing Oil which is seperate from the Ketoret Holy Temple Incense.
