Omani luban: Omani frankincense resin
Omani frankincense resin (Omani Luban) has been cherished for thousands of years for its captivating aroma and medicinal properties. Extracted from the Boswellia tree, this precious resin has played a vital role in cultures and traditions around the world. Today, Omani frankincense resin remains a highly sought-after natural remedy and aromatic substance.
Where does frankincense come from?
Frankincense is obtained from trees belonging to the Boswellia genus, which primarily grow in arid regions of the Middle East, Africa and India. The resin is harvested by making small incisions in the tree’s bark, allowing the sap to seep out and harden into tear-shaped droplets. Once collected, the resin is graded based on its colour, purity and fragrance.
The finest quality frankincense is particularly associated with Oman, which produces some of the world’s most esteemed varieties of Boswellia Sacra. The region’s unique climate and soil conditions contribute to the exceptional purity and potency of its frankincense.
