    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.

    trees that are able to grow in unforgiving conditions, even out of solid rock. kinda like a rose that's able to grow out of concrete 🌹
    like a person who is still able to maintain a pure heart and a humble spirit despite growing up around unforgiving and intolerable family members

      Except all trees are dying, harvesters aren't being paid for their product, harvesters pay tax to ISIS, and no one seems to care. I guess it doesn't matter the origin as long as it's in a nice little bottle.

      @@anthonyman8008 Oh, that's quite subjective really. What I think is good doesn't necessarily represent what another one might think is good.
      For example, the highly rated&priced green royal hojari frankincense from Oman is not one of my favorites, because I'm not much into the refreshing notes of this resin.
      So I would suggest you get in contact with someone that is actually a dealer of these products, and not just a consumer, like I am.

      My thought exactly. How do they only know how to TAKE TAKE TAKE. And not how to regrow them. Humans are so disappointing at times. That should have been the first step taken before making this into such a greedy lucrative business. At least be smart and greedy instead of just evil, causing these trees to go extinct.

      You cannot be for real. You sound so selfish. People have used it for thousands of years and use it in other ways also for healings. Yes, it connects us to our faith, but through that we are also healing just the way that you are using it for your own health issues.

      @christia Not necessarily. I'm sure the tons of frankincense burned every year by the catholic church isn't actually healing the ppl, it seems like pomp and ceremony. Actual medicine could be made from this wasteful use of a precious resource. I do believe in spiritual medicine, but also that most catholics don't receive it as such. I don't think the original poster is selfish, but you sound a bit that way 😂

      unskilled harvesters are incentivised by hight prices to overharvest from wild trees.

Man cannot live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from God's mouth. We are life vibrating from ourselves ( the branches) back to God ( the tree) a flow of energy the branches die our energy goes back into the tree and then we go back into a new branch ( reincarnation) .we are God's word and we are life
