Frankincense, also called olibanum, is an aromatic resin used since ancient times for incense, perfume and aromatherapy. It is readily available as an essential oil or as a supplement or extract, and studies have shown that it may enhance heart health and liver health and soothe pain and inflammation. This new volume is a comprehensive desktop reference book specifically gum olibanum - frankincense. It introduces the significance of the species and covers the botany, phytochemistry, propagation, extraction, and pharmacological uses. It also discusses the species' genetic diversity using molecular markers, in vitro propagation and biotechnological aspects of Boswellia species, the trade and commerce of frankincense, and as well as its threats and conservation.
