Frankincense for Horses

Frankincense is also called olibanum. Frankincense is an aromatic resin obtained from trees of the genus Boswellia.

Frankincense is used in incense, traditional medicine as well as in perfumes.

Boswellia is a genus of trees known for their fragrant resin which has many pharmacological uses particularly as anti-inflammatories.

Frankincense is edible and often used in various traditional medicines in Asia for digestion and healthy skin.

Frankincense is often light yellow with a (very) slight greenish tint. It is often chewed like gum, but it is stickier because it is a resin. In Ayurvedic medicine Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata) has been used for hundreds of years for treating arthritis.

Burning frankincense repels mosquitos and thus helps protect people and animals from mosquito-borne illnesses, such as malaria, West Nile Virus, and Dengue Fever.
