Description of Plant: Frankincense also known as olibanum is a small tree, which has abundant narrow leaves and white or pale-pink flowers. Incisions are made into the trunk in order to allow a milky-white oleoresin to exude. The resin then hardens into an orange-brown gum and is steam-distilled for its essential oil with a yield of 3 - 5%.
Where Cultivated: Frankincense is native to the Middle East and North Africa. It grows in Somalia, Ethiopia, southern Arabia and China. Somalian frankincense tends to be from B. scara and B. frereana.

In a medicinal sense, frankincense essential oil is very helpful for the lungs, proving valuable for its use with respiratory infections. It can calm coughs, is an expectorant and is indicated for chronic bronchitis.
