Price range: $7.52 through $12.38
Description
Frankincense (Boswellia carterii), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Rǔ Xiāng (乳香), is the dried resin of a revered aromatic tree, traditionally honored as a blood-quickening, pain-easing, and spirit-calming herb. Prized for centuries along the Silk Road as both incense and medicine, Ru Xiang has been used to invigorate blood, disperse stagnation, relieve swelling, and soothe discomfort of the joints and limbs. Its nature is warm and pungent, making it a moving, warming herb that opens the channels and harmonizes the flow of qi and blood.

Quality & Sensory
Each batch is naturally sun-dried and carefully processed to preserve the resin's pale amber-to-ivory tone, its smooth granular texture, and its warm, balsamic, faintly citrus-like aroma. When decocted or blended, the powder releases a gentle, resinous fragrance with a slightly bitter, aromatic taste that lingers softly — a sensory signature of well-aged frankincense resin.
