DESCRIPTION:

Frankincense (Stryrax sp), which belongs to the Stryraccaceae family of the Ebeneles order, is a typical North Sumatran incense that is spread across seven districts, especially in North Tapanuli, Humbang Hasundutan, West Pakpak and Toba Samosir districts. Frankincense is in the form of dried sap taken from the frankincense tree. This sap is commonly known as benzoid, which means sweet-smelling sap. Our benzoin oil is obtained from the steam distillation process of Toba frankincense sap/resin. The oil has a very sweet, warm, vanilla-like aroma with subtle notes of cinnamon and a golden brown color. Benzoin oil has been highly valued throughout history for its calming and uplifting effects on the body, mind, and spirit[1].

BOTANICAL OVERVIEW:

Frankincense trees have medium to large sizes with a diameter of between 20-30 cm and a height of 20 to 30 meters. It has straight stems with few branches and reddish bark. Frankincense has single leaves that are spirally arranged and oval in shape, round and elongated with tapered leaf tips. Frankincense fruit is round and oval in shape and is quite small in size. The brown seeds are encased in thick, hard flesh. The place where this incense plant grows varies, from the lowlands to the highlands at an altitude of 60 to 2100 meters above sea level. Frankincense plants do not require special requirements for soil type. Benzoin can grow in Podzolic, Andosol, Latosol, Regosol, and various other associations ranging from heavy to light textured soil and less fertile to fertile soil. This type of plant grows in soil that has high porosity so it easily absorbs water [4].

HISTORY:

Although benzoin essential oil is currently popular for its vanilla aroma and other medicinal properties, it has actually been around for a long time. Praised for its strong vanilla and balsam aroma, ancient papyrus records are believed to suggest that benzoin resin was traded to China and Egypt via the Red Sea. At that time, the resin was usually ground into a powder with other aromatic ingredients such as pine, juniper, and cypress, which was then turned into incense. It is also believed that the Sultan of Egypt would send it as a gift to the Doge of Venice and the Queen of Cyprus.

The use of benzoin resin can be traced back to Ancient Roman and Greek times, where benzoin was used in incense and potpourri. Resin was also a common element in religious ceremonies, where the Maya used frankincense aromatically because they believed it could ward off evil spirits.

Later, benzoin was discovered in England in the 15th century. This incense was brought by traders in powder form, which was used in the perfume worn by Queen Elizabeth I. Known as 'Incense from Java', it later began to be used for medicinal purposes. Even Nostradamus, the world famous French astrologer, classified benzoin as a tonic for skin infections in 1556[3].
