Frankincense exudes a resinous, fresh, sweet scent and has been valued for spiritual rituals, prayers, and meditations for thousands of years. Even in ancient Egypt, it was considered a valuable incense with aromatic, disinfectant, and anti-inflammatory properties. The Egyptians reverently called the precious resin beads the "sweat of the gods."

In ancient times, frankincense was one of the most sought-after trade goods and was exported to almost all regions of the ancient world. It played an important role in many religions and cultures and is still revered as a valuable substance today. The frankincense tree is one of the sacred plants of the Bible and is mentioned in both the Old and New Testaments.
