Arabic frankincense, also known as olibanum, is a resin derived from the Boswellia tree, primarily found in regions like the Arabian Peninsula and parts of Africa. It has been used for centuries in religious ceremonies, traditional medicine, and perfumery due to its aromatic properties. The resin is harvested by making incisions in the tree's bark, allowing the sap to ooze out and harden into tear-shaped droplets. Its distinct fragrance and potential therapeutic benefits have made it a valuable commodity throughout history.
