Boswellia serrata, also known as Indian Frankincense, is a tree native to certain regions of India, particularly in the states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh. It belongs to the Burseraceae family and is known for its medicinal properties. Boswellia serrata (Salai/Salai guggul), is a moderate to large sized branching tree of family Burseraceae (Genus Boswellia), grows in dry mountainous regions of India, Northern Africa and Middle East. Oleo gum-resin is tapped from the incision made on the trunk of the tree and is then stored in specially made bamboo basket for removal of oil content and getting the resin solidified. After processing, the gum-resin is then graded according to its flavour, colour, shape and size. The appearance of this extract is transparent, and the taste of this extract is slightly bitter and sour.

– Boswellia resin can be burned as incense, releasing its aromatic compounds into the air. Light a piece of charcoal and place on a heat-safe surface. Allow it to burn until it has turned white hot.
– Only after consult with a healthcare professional, boswellia resin can be ground into a powder and used in various ways, such as mixing it into food or beverages. However, the taste may not be pleasant for everyone. Place the desired amount of Boswellia resin (typically around 1 teaspoon per cup of water) into a tea infuser or directly into a teapot. Pour the boiling water over the resin. Allow the resin to steep in the hot water for about 5 to 10 minutes. The longer you steep it, the stronger the tea will be.
