Detailed description
Boswellia serrata is a medium-sized deciduous tree native to India, the Middle East and North Africa. Known as “Indian incense”, its oleoresin is harvested after an incision in the bark, allowing the sap to ooze out, then harden to form golden droplets (tears). They are used as essential oil, powder or burnt as incense. The Egyptians used it to embalm bodies and purify temples.
Boswellia resin extract contains essential oils, terpenoids, sugars and, above all, several pentacyclic triterpene acids, including beta-boswellic acid.
