Frankincense Boswellia Superior Sacra Extract- 1 oz bag
This is the resin once it has been distilled. They call it the aftermass or after boil.
This mass is left over on the bottom of the still. This mass when it dries becomes solid. But when broken apart with your fingers it breaks into a powder.
It basically melts into the carrier oil, You are getting a combo of pieces and powder, a little over an ounce.
All the Boswellic Acid is left in the aftermass. The molecules in it are too heavy to come through the distillation to the essential oil and hydrosol.
. Boswellic Acid has anti inflammatory properties in it and is being used in research to treat certain cancers.
Superior Boswellia sacra is considered the 2nd highest grade sacra. But when it comes to sacra each grade is totally unique. Each grade works differently on different people.
This extract is so easy to use. Put it into 8 oz of carrier oil and allow it to infuse for 2 weeks then strain, you will barely have anything to strain. The aftermass has a different smell than the whole resin. It has more of a nutty smell and can be used in your perfume blends and also for any type of pain blends. It can also be used all by itself. It is quite strong.
I only have 8 bags until I distill the resin again.
Resins may irritate the skin so please handle with care.
