Oliban
Oliban
The Oliban (S. Mr. - bas-lat. olibanum, Greek Libanos) or incense, is an aromatic oleo-gum-resin. Oliban is collected on a shrub: the Boswellia (Boswellia crowned, Boswalia Carteri), of the family of the burséracées , growing on the southern part of the Arabic peninsula (Yemen), in Eastern Africa (Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia).
One obtains this resin by incision of the bark of the tree, by removing a narrow and long scrap; one scrapes then the released place, and one collects gum resin concretions by making them fall into a container. This resin was useful formerly in medicine and in the ritual monks and funerary. The combustion of Oliban releases a thick odoriferous smoke, exciting, carrying the spirit with rise.
