Genus Boswellia is a genus in the Burseraceae family.
The genus is widespread in dry areas such as Arabia, northeastern coast of
Africa, and India. The species have been useful in traditional medicine for
treatment of in?ammatory diseases, including asthma, arthritis, cerebral edema,
chronic pain syndrome, gastrointestinal disease, tumors, and for
enhancing memory and learning function.
Boswellia, also known as Indian
frankincense, is an herbal extract taken from the Boswellia
serrata tree. is a moderate to
large sized branching tree that grows in dry mountainous regions of India,
Northern Africa and the Middle East. The family of Burseraceae is represented
in the plant kingdom with 17 genera and 600 species wide-spread in all tropical
regions. There are about 25 known species belonging to Genus Boswellia, most of them occur in Arabia, northeastern
coast of Africa and India. Since ancient times, three of these species have
been considered as ‘true Frankincense’ producing trees.
Also known as hydrosols, floral
waters are actually a by-product of the steam distillation process used to
capture essential oils. During a normal essential oil distillation process, the
steam containing the oils is cooled to turn it into water, and the essential
oils floating on top are skimmed off and bottled. The remaining water is
considered floral water! Any floral water contains water, water-soluble
components of the plant, and trace amounts of the essential oil. This unique
composition lends each floral water a full spectrum of the essence and
properties of the botanical material from which it was derived. Though they are
most often called floral waters, hydrosols can be produced from any plant
matter like herbs, needles, leaves, woods, barks, and seeds.
Floral waters have many valuable
uses in beauty, skincare, haircare, and household products. At Venkatramna
Industries, we offer wide range of floral waters for a variety of product
applications. They can be sold as pure floral waters to be used as sprays and
spritzers, or they can be strategically blended with other ingredients to
create versatile consumer products.
