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.
Frankincense, or olibanum, is the oleogum resin that is harvested from several different trees belonging to the genus Boswellia. The word frankincense is derived from the ancient French name “frankincense,” meaning “pure incense.” Frankincense is also known in Arabic as “luban,” which means “white” or “cream;” in Greek as “libanos;” in Ethiopia as “etan”. Olibanum (frankincense) has been used as incense since ancient times. In recent years, it has been important in the preparation of cosmetics and perfumes. In addition, olibanum has anti-inflammatory, sedative, anti-hyperlipidemic, and antibacterial activities in Unani (Islamic) and Chinese traditional medicines.
