- Frankincense and myrrh are perhaps best known for their biblical connotations. But this tree sap has been prized across the world for over 6,000 years. These fragrant incense pieces come from the Burseraceae family of trees and are found across the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. But despite recent attempts to protect these trees, they could soon be headed for extinction. So what makes frankincense and myrrh so expensive?

Why Frankincense And Myrrh Are So Expensive | So Expensive
The irony in the resin trying to protect itself is the reason for their extinction
The reason for their extinction is human greed. Let's not pretend it's the tree's fault.
@blv i thought it was gonna be a channel built around the irony of something protecting itself is the reason it goes extinct... but no you made me search up a channel about "tik tok drama" wtf who tf would ever care to watch that.
@@GRAITOM the new generation mostly retards
Imagine your blood is cocaine
Most pants r like that in regards to humans..think spicy peppers the capsaicin is a poison ment to protect the plant but instead we seek it out for its spiciness
I dont remember who but someone said the best evolutionary trait a plant or animal can have is to be useful to humans in some way ...if they do that then we will plant fields and fields of that plant accross the globe help and protect it (corn, lawn grass, fruit trees, alo vera, pigs, cows, chickens etc) in that way we humans help spread the genes of that species accross the planet and ensure its species longevity...
And if there not useful well we will make way for the things that r usefull
The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago the second best time is today.
I wish everyone should be as positive as you are.
We will try.....🙏
Right after I cut a tree I put a 8 to 10 foot tree in its place on my property... I once bbn bought a 20 foot oak because who wants to weight for it to grow lol

We have myrrh here in Namibia, we don't harvest it until the resin detaches from the tree(s) and hit the ground. This way, we don't harm/injure the trees, thus ensuring that we use it sustainably, which we have done for centuries upon centuries. Smells heavenly!
Love that. TY🥰

Do you also use it for the skin,like body lotion?
Do you sell it?
You need to mark a certain number of trees and not allow anyone to tap them so they produce seeds. Once enough new trees are produced from those trees, you can switch to a different area to repopulate.
Always. The resources are extinct and the locals are still not wealthy.

THANKS FOR SHARING THIS INFORMATION. 👍🏾
I hope the world don't kill this beautiful gifted tree. 🌳 🌲 🌴
This tree can grow in extraordinary circumstances (such as from a rock) but humans have been unsuccessful in producing it through seedlings? How is that possible? Nature is fickle
yes ! indeed
Are there plantations or are they just gathering the incense from wild trees?
I am surprise people just don't buy the seedlings and grow them in their backyard for a few years and then start tapping. If these trees can grow out of rock what is to stop them from growing were there is plenty of water.
@@theshowman4510 Or they just are not patient enough? Maybe it took ten or twenty years before you can tap the tree.
@Derek Bartlett Naturally. Yet you can google and there are some people selling sapplings of the tree.
I would think that it would be obvious that the trees are not reproducing or dropping seed because they're spending all of their effort in healing from damage versus dropping seed.
Also, trees sense their being 'attacked and communicate with others nearby. This is why elephants in Africa graze quickly before their leaves become poisonous and have to move to another location
My brother took it upon himself to hack a bunch of branches off one of our Mullberry trees, it took 5 years for it to start producing berries again. It does make considerably more berries now, and there are a ton of branches. There are also like 5-6 new trees popping up near it, shot up from the roots of the one that got hacked (Edit: figured this out when I tried to relocate them). I think if they left alternating portions of those trees alone for a few years, they would see a massive resurgence.
@@sparkysmalarkey I think that's impossible coz it'll affect their livelihood, it's a big business that involves hundreds of millions of dollars..
@@mohdhafidz6268 I understand the need outweighs the risk, but a market that cannot sustain itself will die eventually. If nothing can be done, so be it, they need to start looking for something to replace it, before it dies. If they find another source it could save that market, as well as create more opportunity.
I am sure it is easier said than done, and they likely spend all day looking for more ways to make income.
In my theory, I suggest the opposite. What I understand in working with some other crops, induced stress such as tapping trees should create response from the plant to produce more flower that afterwards produces seeds for it to ensure survival of its progeny.
How does a tree grow out of a rock??!! that's insane...mother nature is truly beautiful

How can it produce a new tree, it has to keep healing itself because of the continuous harvesting of its sap. How about you set aside a sample of trees you would not harvest from, and graft your next generation of tree to harvest sap from there?
Seems logical yes. But people need an incentive to do so, a clear conscience in order to accomplish that and someone to oganize them in such a way. Which they clearly don't have.
Or maybe this is all part of some propaganda so they keep the prices up...
Part of the issue appears to be these trees on unmanaged land. Someone needs to own the land the trees are on, put up fences and the like to prevent as they called it 'unskilled' harvesters coming in, so that the trees can have the time to rest. And as the other commenter said, it could be this could be part of propaganda to keep the prices high like in so many other industries.
Look to cork farming in Portugal, they've made it sustainable and economical without seriously injuring the tree.

"On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

I never knew how frankincense was made growing up in a Somali household. It was just something that was just there. Sure the smell and aroma is wonderful but the harms caused to the trees is more important.

@@ultimatem_4214 Yea Somalis introduced Frankincense and Myrrh to the world. In fact, the Roman Catholic Church still buys most of their frankincense from Somalia which produces the largest frankincense and myrrh.

Jehovah witnesses take the name of the Lord Jehovah in vain. Most people have the spiritual mark of the beast which has to do with worship. For about 2,000 years people have been worshipping the dragon (Satan) and the Roman kingdom catholic (universal) church. The Roman emperors and papacy are the 4th beast kingdom of Daniel and 1st beast of Revelation 13. The sinning Roman church is the woman riding the beast and is the mother of harlots (every sundaykeeping church and those who keep the doctrine of men) and abominations of the earth (Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Bahaism, Atheism, etc.) We should worship God our Father and respect each holy day, each new moon, and each sabbath as written in Colossians 2:16, Isaiah 66:23, Ezekiel 46:3, Numbers 10:10, etc. If they say we cannot buy or sell without the vaccinejab, then that is the mark of the beast. Let us repent and have a good remnant of the year.
@B W so your ancestors were apes 😄
Perhaps a system of rotation between crops of trees would help?
Like only harvest from one group of trees for a period of time, giving the other groups time to recover, sort of like how farmers leave a field fallow to replenish the soil.
You'd have to rotate them for years at a time, sadly. Trees don't have a heart to pump their blood, so it takes a while for nutrients to travel all the way up to the tops and new branches just to produce seeds. Edit: after the trees fully heal, I mean to say they'd go back to producing fully
Maybe cloning the trees would work good enough, using offshoot cuts

Perhaps seeds and cuttings from these trees can be nurtured in University labs. The only way to save the trees from extinction is to let them heal while trying scientific methods to help save the species.
Maybe the Seed Bank has healthy seeds that can be used to grow a sustainable forest?

friggin sap suckers.
@@growingtogether35 They said in the video that they have been unsuccessful in transplanting cuttings or harvesting seeds.
I'm no tree expert, but I would suspect that this is due to overharvesting. The trees are weakened by the overharvesting and don't have enough energy to "fruit" seeds.
The problem is that when you continuously damage a tree for years it is unable to flower and fruit effectively anymore. You can buy seeds on the internet and germinate them yourself fairly easily so the fact that the "scientist" in the video doesn't seem to be able to figure it out should really tell you a lot about how much they care for the wellbeing of the species.
The poor workers work so hard and probably don't even get paid enough. Businesses should pay them more and make their produce sustainable.
yes lets invade and claim the trees ours
If the scent is so popular why can't it be produced synthetically? The trees would not be harvested after that.
Why pay them more when you can exploit their dire situation (joking)

Btw this branch of semitic is older than arabic by alot

They have a huge concentration of frankincense and myrrh in the Philippines but it's a red frankincense and murr trees still very good and used in ceremonies as any old frankincense and myrrh in fact King Solomon used to get it from ancient Kingdom of olphir in the Philippines
I love how as they’re criticizing over harvesting they zoom in on the poor guy harvesting the sap with a chisel
GOOD NEWS: Boswellia trees are being grown in the U.S. state of Arizona!
*And over harvesting will happen here too...🙄*
@@maskmayhammedia4901 True, but at least there's proof of concept that they can be grown in multiple geographic locations, which helps in the preservation efforts.
@@maskmayhammedia4901 not likely. the US is very competent and diligent in setting and upholding environmental standards.

@@juanmola2000 its my opinon. the standards are always set by either the US or europe, who else.
I was born and grown up in this place and those busters has been cleansing those trees for so long with no recovery at the moment they almost dead. They know only how to cut them and bleed them they don’t know how to grow them.
I thought that was some loud in the thumbnail before I read the caption 🤣
thought the thumbnail was some loud bud so i clicked
Absolutely fascinating!
I love this scent, at every Sunday mass.
Here in the Philippines we have frankinsence tree, Canarium Luzonicum, Common name: Manila Emeli.this tree is growing in my backyard. I have seedlings and I planted it in my farm. Seed are plenty but you have to transfer it in seedling bags or else it will die.
Send me seeds please.

I received Myrrh from an acquaintance. It's fragrance is very soothing.
did you also get myrrhdurr?
This is a good message, we can use mugwort 艾草 incense instead, we need to save the ancient trees 🌳
you should come to chios island. the only place fishical gum come from trees , called ''mastiha''
We’re catholic & my mother turns on this very nice incense that is mixed with other flakes, & goes around to bless the home whilst praying, & always wondered what it is, especially love the crackle sound it makes! Thanks insider
I am also catholic. I burn it almost everyday
