Medicinally, frankincense stimulates the airways, helping to relieve asthma, bronchitis, colds and flus. It also believed to help alleviate anxiety and depression. You can also chew frankincense resin for oral health. You can chew it the same way you'd chew gum and then pack it against a troubled area to help regenerate the tissues (note: the taste and texture is a little unpleasant). These frankincense uses have been practiced for hundreds of years.
Frankincense grows on the Somali coast and the Arabian Peninsula. Harvesters have to make a deep cut into the trunk of a tree and remove a piece of bark to allow the sap to drip out. It usually takes about three months for the sap to harden into the resin that we use. A tribe in Somaliland gathers this frankincense resin.
