Stories from Nature
Boswellia serrata is a plant native to India belonging to the Burseraceae family that grows to impressive sizes and develops a branched canopy with ash-colored bark. The name pays homage to the biologist John Boswell, while the term “serrata” refers to the serrated edge of its leaves. Historically known since ancient Egypt and mentioned in biblical texts, the resin of this plant has been used for centuries in religious rituals to aid prayer and meditation. Ayurvedic medicine has long valued its properties for soothing irritations, while modern cosmetics have recently rediscovered incense for purifying oily skin and providing relief to sensitive scalps.
