Boswellia trees have been celebrated for centuries. The Babylonians & Assyrians would burn the tree resin in religious ceremonies & for contemplative meditation. The ancient Egyptians used it in perfumes & salves for soothing skin. Oil from the resin has long been used in Ayurvedic & traditional Chinese health practices.
