Boswellia papyrifera resin is commonly used in incense, perfume, and aromatherapy. It holds significant biblical importance, having been mentioned in the book of Exodus and used as incense in places of worship for centuries. Unlike other species of frankincense, Boswellia papyrifera resin can affect the central nervous system (CNS) and exhibits psychoactive properties. As a result, burning this resin can help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Boswellia papyrifera resin is known for its high quality and delightful lemony, pine-like aroma. It is uplifting, comforting, and cleansing, providing energetic protection. This resin is an excellent choice for creating topical healing remedies and products, such as salves, creams, oils, and tinctures. It is particularly beneficial for mature skin and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles when used in facial creams or oils. Furthermore, it is one of the best options for rubs intended for the musculoskeletal system. Boswellia papyrifera is also neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory.
