Specific Applications

    • Gives off a calming, clarifying and grounding aroma, and actives positive ion channels in the brain, helping to soothe anxiety and relax into sleep naturally or focus during work and study. 

    • Encourage slower & deeper breathing, which can help relieve the symptoms of common lung conditions through inhibiting inflammatory molecules in the lungs and opening-up breathing passages. 

    • Works at a cellular level, which strengthens skin, reduces pigmentation, improves tone and elasticity, and introduces defence mechanisms against bacteria and environmental toxins for an anti-ageing effect. 

    • The unique healing compounds help relieve irritated or sunburnt skin and fight against the appearance of problematic skin conditions such as acne, stretch marks, age spots, scars, fine lines and wrinkles, as well as dry & cracked skin.

  • Helps reduce muscular inflammation & pain through inhibiting the production of key inflammatory molecules.

Our Frankincense farming, harvesting and distilling activity takes place in Oman’s Dhofar Province.

  • Frankincense trade has ancient roots and a rich history that can be traced back to Dhofar.

  • There were three legendary ancient trade routes: the silk road, the spice route, and the incense trail.

  • The incense trail was the oldest of all three, which connected the Dhofar region of Oman to Gaza. All three routes converged at Petra and Palmyra.

  • The province of Dhofar covers approximately 100 thousand square kilometres of land. It borders Yemen to the west and Saudi Arabia to the north

The coastal part of Dhofar is parched with the heat of the sun, cooling winds from the Indian ocean, drizzling rain, cloud and fog.

  • The combination of arid climate and moisture captured in the air allow the Frankincense trees to thrive in the wild.

  • There is a unique microclimate that drapes the desert with a blanket of green and brings temperatures tumbling down. This provides the ideal “Khareef” monsoon for Frankincense trees to grow.
