Socotran Frankincense High-Quality Maceration Essential Oil
Boswellia elongata
5ml Organic
Resin is From Socotra
The scent is light and uplifting and has a classic frankincense aroma, a bit like Carterrii or Maydi But Sweet. I have never seen the resin oil for sale before and so I really could barely wait to be able to offer it in small amounts here and on our Website. The most unique quality of this resin is that it melts completely in oil, overnight which is why hydro-distillation is not feasible it takes 3x times the amount of resin to get a small 5ml of essential oil. So this resin was ideal for the maceration essential oil technique “Ancient Shemen”. At a high cost for this resin, we did this maceration technique three times to achieve a nice strong aroma and a nice high-quality oil to work with for your blend, natural perfumes, and skincare.
There have been some clay jars that had Frankincense resin residue which sealed the jars to cold hold liquid such as wine. It would make sense since this resin will melt completely in heat, water, and oil. If it was melted in oil the oil as a paste which could seal cracks of clay jars easily. It is also believed that at Sinai is where the Israelites have first introduced this Frankincense.
In Nazareth, Israel the locals both Arab and Jewish would say the ancient apothecary of the region provided Frankincense from Yemen as medicine, perfume, and quite possibly for use Temple anointing oil because it could made quickly and that it was introduced at Sinai which was located in Yemen.
I agree that Sinai is in Yemen and it is where G-d revealed his Torah and His presence to the nation of Israel. How did I come to this conclusion?
Deuteronomy 33:2 And he said: The LORD came from Sinai, and rose from Seir unto them; He shined forth from mount Paran, and He came from the myriads holy, at His right hand was a fiery law unto them.
Habakkuk 3:3 God came from Teiman, the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
We have of course stated categorically that Sinai was in Yemen which is known in Hebrew as Teiman and now we see what Maimonides has to say.
“The consequences of this and that suffering would come upon them, and warned the Jewish People not to do this (i.e. violate the Three Oaths), and in a metaphorical way made them swear not to commit these acts, as it is written in Song of Songs, 3,5: I made you swear Daughters of Jerusalem by the deer and gazelles of the field should you arouse or awaken love until it is so desired.
Therefore, you, dear brethren, must accept the Oath and do not attempt to arouse the love until the proper time when the Alm-ghty shall remember us and you with his trait of mercy to gather his portion from Exile to behold his glory at his holy Temple and redeem us from the Valley of the shadow of Death where he has placed us, thereby removing the darkness from our eyes and the fog from our hearts. He will then fulfill in our days and in yours the verse from Isaiah 9:1 The nation wandering in darkness shall see a great Light, and a Light shall shine on those residing in the land of the shadow of death (the desert). At that time G-d shall darken the eyes of all those who rise up against us and fulfill the verse from Isaiah 60:2 Verily darkness shall cover the land and fog shall cover nations, but the light of G-d shall shine upon you, and you shall display his honor.”
Yup you guessed it Teiman was Yemen and Sinai was in Yemen and “G-d came from Teiman”. So it was at Sinai that G-d first made his presence known to the whole nation of Israel at Sinai which was is Yemen. So the idea of this Socotra Frankincense was introduced to the Jewish nation is plausible.
The following quote from Baruch (The scribe of Prophet Jeremiah) will prove to be of interest when we follow “The sons of Hagar” in their march through history.
Baruch 3 States She has not been heard of in Canaan (Israel), nor seen in Teiman (Yemen). 23 The sons of Hagar who seek knowledge on earth, the merchants of Midian and Teiman, the phrasemakers seeking knowledge
We only acquire our high-quality resins from sustainable, fair trade organic wild-harvested resources that are shipped to Israel. The heavy fragrant resins are then 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 and it is then hydro-distilled by the traditional method in Israel. This process is what we call “Holy Land Charged ®™” essential oil.
