Frankincense trees are abundant I this area. The bark is cut and the resin exuded is collected and dried. The highest quality resin is nearly pure white. At our next stop I bought some Frankincense that is reputed to be good for the chest, together with a little burner and some charcoal upon which the Frankincense smoulders to give that unique aroma.
The locals use it as a deodorant by placing a burner under their long robes and allowing the smoke to infuse – could be dangerous!!!
