Premium frankincense resin 20 grams
"Premium natural loban from somalia" refers to high-quality frankincense resin sourced from Somalia, prized for its aromatic and traditional wellness properties. This product, also known locally as liban (Arabic for frankincense), comes primarily from the Boswellia sacra or Boswellia carterii trees, and the highly-prized Boswellia frereana (known as Maydi) variety is also specific to Somalia.
Characteristics and Use
Somali loban is an organic, natural resin available in granular "tears".
Aroma: It is known for a refreshingly crisp, uplifting fragrance with notes of citrus, balsamic, and a slightly woody earthy undertone.
Uses:
Incense: The most common use is burning the resin on hot charcoal in an incense burner (known as a dabqaad in Somali culture) to purify the air and create a calming atmosphere for meditation, prayer, or relaxation.
Traditional Wellness: Certain premium grades, like the Maydi variety, are traditionally chewed like gum for oral hygiene (freshening breath, strengthening gums) or infused in water and drunk for digestive and respiratory health benefits.
