Detailed Description

From the ancient soils of India comes Boswellia serrata, known as Salai Guggul, or in Sanskrit, Shallaki. This sacred resin has been gathered and revered for thousands of years, woven deeply into the practices of Ayurvedic medicine, where it has been praised for its profound ability to ease inflammation, soothe the joints, and restore balance to the body.

Native to the forests and hills of India and the Punjab region of Pakistan, Boswellia serrata is one of the most widely known species of frankincense, and for good reason. Its resin forms in large and medium tears, pure in their structure, shimmering in shades of gray, white, tan, and gold.

When placed upon the coal, the resin yields a rich, spicy fragrance of the earth itself—deep and grounding, yet uplifted by delicate hints of pine, mint, and the faintest peppery edge. It is a smoke that calls to both body and spirit: invigorating, cleansing, and harmonizing.

For millennia, this resin has accompanied yogis in meditation, priests in ceremony, kings in their courts, and common folk in their homes. Its dual nature—as medicine for the body and offering for the divine—has ensured its place as one of the great sacred gifts of the East.

Timeless, healing, and sacred—Salai Guggul is the incense of both earth and spirit, a resin of devotion and restoration.
