The name Hojari comes from the Arabic word “Hajar” or “حجر” and is named as such because the tree itself grows on the side of rocks and the cliff of mountains, this type of Frankincense resin has a woody and sweet smell with a hint of lemony smell.
This specific Frankincense resin is a Hojari Black and Green mix, it is commonly known in the region as Luban Dakar or لبان الذكر
It is the best region of Frankincense to use as a medicine as it is the easiest to digest and mix with beverages. It is the rarest and hardest type of Frankincense to harvest as it is hand-harvested from very aged trees seasonally and very rare to find outside the region of the harvest.
Frankincense is what the Egyptians built their wealth upon, and the later Arabian trade of the substance was the source of wealth long before “black gold” was being drilled in the area.
There has been a lot of myth and marketing hype with Arabian Frankincense. They have been marketing it to the entire world for at least 2 thousand years - at least twice that length of time if you consider the Egyptians, and longer still if you consider the various Kingdoms pre-dating the Egyptians.
After all - the oldest written language has been found in the region of the Horn of Africa, dating back almost 10,000 years. And what was the oldest writing? Inventory tablets. That’s right...writing was literally invented for the Incense and Spice trade. Even more interesting - nearly half the recorded herbs and substances were not indigenous to the area, meaning that global trade of herbs and spices goes back at least 10 millennia. Guess what else was found among them...copious references to precious resins, among them - Frankincense!
Hard to tell the difference sometimes what is romanticised and what is fact. Green Frank is a perfect example ...
It is said that Green Frank comes specifically from MALE trees. As if trees had genders...
The Frankincense trees do not have gender of male and female from a botanical perspective. Flower and fruit are born in the same tree. There is Dakar Frankincense which is called “male” because it resembles testicles. The female version is shaped more like chickpeas. But there are no male and female trees to the best of my knowledge.
Dakar, btw, means “male” in Arabic.
The Green Omani Frank is found within only 3 regions of Oman, and is usually much lighter in color. This batch comes from the Dhofar region - which is the most prized.
One last thing I’ll mention about this resin.
Green Frank is best known as INTERNAL medicine. It doesn’t just smell damn fine - it also is considered to be very medically potent.
The most basic way to make use of it as medicine is to place a piece in a dedicated cup of water (dedicated, because you don’t want to ruin your nice cups with sticky resin) and leave it over night. Drink the glass of water upon waking the next morning.
The more sophisticated way to make use of it is to tincture 1 Kilo in 1 Gallon of Sake, or maybe just use 100g in a Liter of Sake.
Frankincense, after all, is like the Blood of a tree. When the tree bark is damaged - out comes the resin.
As such - Frankincense in Chinese Medicine is known to Regenerate Flesh - and is great for the Skin, the Stomach, and the Intestinal lining (which if we are all really just doughnuts - our intestinal lining is just “inner” skin lining).
