Frankincense is a resin (sap) secreted from trees of the genus Boswellia in the Burseraceae family. It is characterized by its woody, deep, and mystical aroma, and has been highly valued since ancient times for religious rituals, meditation, beauty, and traditional medicine.

Key Features and History: Origin of the Name: When the trunk of the tree is wounded, a white sap is secreted, which hardens upon contact with air into milky white granules, hence the name Frankincense (Nyu-ko in Japanese, meaning milky incense). History: It has been used since the 40th century BC (approximately 6000 years ago) and was used in ancient Egypt as a preservative for mummies and as a sacred aroma offered to the gods. It is also famous in the Christian Bible as one of the treasures offered by the Three Wise Men at the birth of Jesus Christ, along with gold and myrrh.
