Frankincense Tea – A Sacred Brew for Inflammation & Inner Calm

Frankincense tea, made from edible-grade Boswellia carterii resin, is a traditional tonic prized for its anti-inflammatory, immune-supportive, and grounding qualities. This soothing brew carries a subtle citrusy-woody flavor and is rich in natural compounds that support both body and mind.

One of the primary active constituents of frankincense is alpha-pinene—a powerful terpene also found in pine, rosemary, and eucalyptus. Alpha-pinene is known for its:

• Anti-inflammatory properties, making it helpful for joint pain and chronic inflammation and
Bronchodilating effects that can support respiratory health
• Neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing potential, promoting mental clarity and focus
• Calming aroma, often used to ease anxiety and deepen meditation
