Frankincense Raw Resin is made up of raw, hardened resin “tears” harvested from the Boswellia serrata tree. When warmed or burned, it releases a classic resinous aroma that is citrusy, pine-leaning and softly balsamic. The whole tears are ideal for charcoal incense, oil warmers and traditional aromatic rituals. They can also be steeped to create a fragrant resin infusion, or gently chewed in small pieces as a traditional practice.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.

Also available in large pack sizes.

  • Incense and resin burner rituals using whole tears
  • Aromatic routines such as meditation, breathwork or reflection
  • Herbal craft projects such as resin blends, cones or sachets
  • This product is not for:

  • Use around smoke-sensitive people or spaces without strong ventilation
  • Unattended burning or use near flammable materials
  • Large-quantity internal use
  • As a Charcoal Incense: Place a lit charcoal disc in a heat-safe burner and add 1 small tear. Add more as needed.
  • As an Oil Warmer: Place 1 small tear in the dish with a little carrier oil and warm gently.
  • As a Resin Infusion: Add 2-3 small tears to hot water, steep 5-10 minutes, then strain before drinking.
  • As a Chew: Soften a very small piece in the mouth like gum, then discard. Do not swallow.
  • Processing Tip: Start small. Frankincense aroma builds quickly, and resin infusions are naturally strong in scent.
  • Use heat-safe dishes and burn on a stable surface.
  • Never leave burning charcoal unattended.
  • Keep away from children and pets during burning.
  • Ensure good ventilation, resin smoke may irritate sensitive airways.
  • Avoid use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless guided by a qualified practitioner.
  • For internal use, use only small quantities and seek professional advice if you have a medical condition or take medication.

Q: Does the resin dissolve fully in hot water?
A: No. It softens and perfumes the water, but it does not fully dissolve, so straining is important.

Q: What is the difference between whole tears and resin powder?
A: Whole tears are easier to portion for charcoal and oil warmers, while powder is often used for cones, blends and faster release on charcoal.

Q: How should it be stored to keep the aroma fresh?
A: Keep it sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odours.

Loving this natural health find resin tears.

I love using Frankincense essential oil but felt to venture and start drinking frankincense tea. I just throw a few pieces of the resin into a tea ball strainer and add boiling water and let it soak. Fresh taste and fresh smell and easy to drink. As well as i can re use over 2 days.
I just take sips through out the day between my normal water. I also take sips before a meal and after a meal. just generally in a spot of my kitchen so randomly sip. the first time I drank the whole cup as a tea and it had a sedative effect on me. So I also take a sip before bed time. I am using for the anti inflammatory properties as well as for joint and nerve pain. Value for money as well as a fantastic business find that is so supportive.

Good product. I have purchased a different kind of Frankincense resin, which was better quality but I paid triple the amount. So price wise this is a very good product and satisfies my needs.

Frankinsence the anti inflammatory

I buy these food grade packs, mortar and pestle it bit by bit after storing it in the freezer so it doesn't get sticky in processing.

Pack it in capsules and take it three times a day.

Helps for headaches and inflammation in muscles and joints.

Beautiful quality and strength.

100g lasts a couple of months.

Boswellia serata

This is one tea that kicks you. It has a after taste like none other and lingers for day or two. However it has really helped me with inflammation I have been struggling with for some time now. Overall good product.
