Frankincense is a resin obtained from the Boswellia tree, particularly the species Boswellia sacra, Boswellia serrata, and Boswellia carterii. It has been used for thousands of years for various purposes, including religious rituals, traditional medicine, and as a component in perfumes. The resin is harvested by making incisions in the bark of the tree, allowing the milky sap to ooze out and harden into golden or yellowish-colored beads.
