What Does Pure Frankincense Mean?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The term 'pure frankincense' is simply a combination of two words and the term conveys nothing different from what is the combined meaning of the two terms.
          
    Pure is a word that is used as an adjective to say something about the quality of something or to some extent how raw or virgin the product is. And the other term frankincense is used as a noun and it describes a substance that is burnt and when it is burnt it gives a pleasant smell. The substance is usually used during the religious ceremonies.
          
    So the term 'pure frankincense' can be used for a kind of frankincense that is virgin as nothing else is mixed into it. Sometimes you can find that a company has used the term to name a brand of oil which is scented.

    Synonym---Olibanum.
    ---Part Used---The gum resin.
    ---Habitat---Arabia, Somaliland

    Pure Frankincense is a Gum Resin originating and found in Arabia
    The trees on the Somali coast grow, without soil, out of polished marble rocks, to which they are attached by a thick oval mass of substances resembling a mixture of lime and mortar. The young trees furnish the most valuable gum, the older yielding merely a clear, glutinous fluid, resembling coral varnish.


    Was extracted through a hole in the trunk of a older
    aged tree in liquid form. Once in contact with air, gum resin dries up and is then scraped off tree, and gathered for future use.

    Pure frankincense was rarely consumed internally. But when it was,it was used as an antidote to hemlock,to treat tumors, vomiting, and ulcers.

        Pure frankincense is the original tappings taken from the tree and then left for two weeks to harden. It is then collected and packed. This is the purest frankincense you can get. With out any mixing of other incense or herbs or grinding through machines.
