Frankincense Black Hojari Essential Oil

Boswellia sacra is a plant species that belongs to the balsam tree family (Burseraceae). Its German names are “Somali frankincense” or “Arabian frankincense”. As with other species, frankincense resin (Latin Thus or Olibanum) is obtained from it. It grows as a small, strongly branched, leafless tree with thick branches in the dry season, reaching heights of around 4 to 5 meters. These tree species grow in dry areas around the Horn of Africa (Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Sudan), in Arabia (Dhofar in southern Oman – where the incense Black Hojari comes from)

Religion:

Originating from the Canaanite private incense cult, incense was initially rejected as an “innovation” in ancient Israel. Only later did he find an entrance to the temple service. At the latest in the post-exile second temple of Jerusalem (from about 540 BC) was the smoke offering altar in front of the curtain of the Blessed Sacrament, on which a smoke offering was offered in the morning and in the evening.

The requirement, which had been in force since at least 1570, to use incense in the high office (celebratory mass) but otherwise not to use it, made incense an attribute of festivity. Since 1970, incense can be used again – as has always been the case in the Eastern Churches – in all divine services. As a result, his symbolic references are once again more evident.

History of Boswella

In the different epochs of the Egyptian pharaohs incense was used in many cult acts and in mummification. Thus the ancient Egyptians called the resin beads of incense the “sweat of the gods”. Many other ancient religions and the oriental and Roman cult knew the incense. During the republican period, the burning of incense replaced the old, prescribed sacrifices of the Romans. During prayers of prayer and thanksgiving, the incense grains were burned in specially designed vessels, acerra, in the fire. Emperors and governors were promoted when entering a city of incense – as a sign of homage, but also for the displacement of the Kloakengestank. The Roman emperors were veneered as “Dominus et Deus” (“Lord and God”) and demanded smoke sacrifices in front of their image. The early Christians rejected this divine worship of the emperor and had to endure persecutions for it.

For this reason, incense was initially frowned upon in the Christian liturgy; the Fathers of the Church explicitly opposed it. At funerals, however, the incense was also used by the early Christians. Only with a time interval to the persecution of Christians and with the transfer of elements of the pagan-Roman imperial cult into the Christian worship was the incense accepted.

Traditional oriental medicine:

In traditional oriental medicine, for example in the canon of medicine, the “Qanun al-Tibbvom” of the Persian “Hakim” Avicenna, which is known in the region today under the name “Abu Ali Senna”, the internal application of incense resin beads (Boswellia serrata, Boswellia sacra) is recommended for “strengthening the mind and mind”. The results of a study suggesting an effect previously unknown outside the Orient in the form of an increase in learning and memory performance in animal experiments have been presented at a congress, have generated media echoes and are being sought to market incense preparations, but have not yet been published in a scientific publication outside Iran.

Classical European Naturopathy

In classical European naturopathy, incense was mainly used to relieve rheumatic diseases. Thus incense was still to be found in 1850 for internal and external use and in 1870 only for external use in pharmacological books. After 1875, the incense, like so many other experiential medicines, was forgotten by chemically defined drugs.
