Aden (incense Somalia for Inscence)

Frankincense is one of the most popular and sought-after incense resins in the world. 

Even the ancient Egyptians used it for ritual incense, as a remedy and for mummifying. For thousands of years it has been smoked as an incense to cleanse and protect against negative energies and influences, as well as to bless and consecrate. But not all frankincense is the same. Frankincense Aden (Boswellia carteri) is considered the incense of first choice. This resin from Somalia is already a small treasure with a balmy, slightly woody and lemony scent. Aden is also known as Somalia frankincense and, with its whitish-beige to delicate yellowish or brownish color, is considered the purest frankincense resin.

Frankincense is not only used for purification, protection, blessing and consecration, it promotes meditation, opens the bridge to the subtle world, thus helping us to promote visions and to strengthen our intuition and extrasensory perception. The scent of incense has a positive effect on body, mind and soul. It has a relaxing and balancing effect, which makes it an excellent remedy for stress. It cleans and disinfects the air in the room while giving us a sublime feeling of calm and contentment. Incense with Aden works very well for states of anxiety and tension. Frankincense is considered a male source of energy - in contrast, myrrh is considered a female one. If you mix both resins together, you create a balanced ratio between the two sides. While frankincense opens our senses to the heavenly spheres, myrrh is the grounding counterpoint. 

Incense with Aden is also said to attract luck, prosperity and success.
