Pure Omani Royal Green Hojari Frankincense - Boswellia Sacra 140grams

Omani Royal Green Hojari

This is true Royal Green Hojari frankincense from the Dhofar mountains of Oman,  the most sought-after grade of Boswellia sacra. The resin is selected from the highest tiers of the harvest, where the trees grow in rocky, mineral-rich terrain touched by ocean winds.

The result is a rare pale-green resin with an aroma unlike any other frankincense: bright honey-citrus top notes layered over clean pine and mountain air. Historically, this grade was reserved for royal courts, scholars and healers, valued not only for its fragrance but for its clarity and purity.

A legacy in Islamic tradition

Frankincense (lubān) has a long and honoured place in Islamic heritage. It was burned in homes, masājid, and gatherings to bring sakīnah (tranquillity), purify the air, and deepen focus.

It is reported that ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (رضي الله عنه) advised people to chew frankincense, mentioning that it strengthens the heart, memory, and clarity.

Why it matters for the mind and heart

Frankincense resin contains naturally occurring compounds such as:

• boswellic acids

• incensole acetate

• aromatic terpenes

Modern research is actively studying these compounds for their effects on:

• calmness and emotional balance

• cognitive function and attentiveness

• inflammation and oxidative-stress pathways

Incensole acetate, in particular, has been explored for its influence on brain regions associated with mood, relaxation, and heightened awareness. Scientific study is echoing what traditional medicine systems observed centuries ago: frankincense is associated with clarity, grounding, and centeredness.

Frankincense and inflammation

Boswellic acids are of special scientific interest because they interact with biological pathways involved in inflammation. Research on frankincense extracts suggests potential support for:

• joint comfort and mobility

• easing sensations of stiffness and swelling

• overall inflammatory balance in the body
