The unique natural substance is used as incense for cultic purposes, for example in churches. In addition, incense is also used for therapeutic purposes. The smoke produced during combustion is also called incense. The resin has a reddish-brown to brown-yellow coloration and can be both coarse-grained and lumpy.

The most important criterion for the selection of incense capsules is the country of origin of the incense. Trade names for incense capsules include Oman Incense, Olibanon sacra, Somali Incense, Arabic Incense, Luban, Lobhan, Loban, Sallaki/Salakhi and Indian Incense. Products containing incense from trees in East India, the Arabian Peninsula or from some desert areas of East Africa are of particularly high quality. The reason for this is that the soils there are rich in limestone, which contains a variety of minerals. These minerals serve the incense tree as nutrients for optimal growth. The tree, in which it forms resins, protects itself against the inhospitable conditions in its environment. The resin contains boswellic acid. The quality of incense continues to be determined by the harvest from which the resin originates. The more often the tree bark is scratched, the higher the quality of the resin obtained. The resin from the third harvest is of particularly high quality. Only incense capsules containing no pesticides or other harmful substances, such as the product Boswellia incense 400mg 2 plus 1 (360 tablets), should continue to be purchased. High-quality incense capsules also contain no lactose.

In medicine, incense capsules, for example Embio Garden incense capsules Boswellia Serrata (140 pieces) 75 g, also have a long tradition. Already the Pharaohs and the ancient Egyptians appreciate incense as a gift from nature to increase their well-being. Hildegard von Bingen also recommended frankincense to her patients for various complaints. Although pathogens were still unknown in ancient times, people found that the steam from incense can have both healing and disinfecting effects. For this reason, an attempt was made in the Middle Ages to combat the plague with incense. It is also known that incense has both analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. According to folk medicine, incense is said to relieve pain in arthritis, rheumatism and Crohn’s disease. In traditional Indian medicine, incense is increasingly valued as a serious medicinal plant because of its great potential. In addition, incense capsules are also used in traditional Chinese, Greek-Roman, Egyptian and Arabic medicine for infections and inflammations of all kinds. Today, incense capsules are also increasingly used to treat internal diseases of the joints, inflammation of the intestines (ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease) and diseases of the respiratory and urinary tract. The efficacy of incense in the treatment of the malignant brain tumor glioblastoma is currently being tested. Used externally as an embrocation, incense has proven its worth in inflammation and pain. Frankincense also has a calming, analgesic, expectorant and antiseptic effect. The anti-inflammatory effect has been proven by scientific studies with about 50 volunteers in India. Commission E has not yet investigated the curative effects of incense, although recent research suggests that it has anti-inflammatory properties. Although the smaller studies all had positive results, the curative effect has not yet been proven because neither statistics nor larger documentation are available. In aromatherapy, the oil extracted from the gum resin is used to treat vegetative disorders, tension and anxiety. The intake of incense capsules over a longer period of time should promote weight loss. Italian studies have also proven the efficacy against skin ageing caused by light. Further studies are underway to determine whether incense is effective against blood cancer, prostate cancer and nerve tumours, as cell cultures have shown increased cell death and inhibited cell growth. An already granted approval as a drug for the treatment of brain swelling caused by brain tumors was unfortunately withdrawn again. However, since a study of radiotherapy at the University of Freiburg confirmed a reduction in brain edema, the prospects for new studies are good. Until then, however, incense capsules are only permitted in Germany as food supplements, which can only be ordered from selected mail-order pharmacies and international mail-order companies.
