Frankincense

To obtain the Frankincense, a deep, longitudinal incision is made in the trunk of the tree
and below it a narrow strip of bark 5 inches in length is peeled off.
When the milk-like juice which exudes has hardened by exposure to the air,
the incision is deepened. In about three months the resin has attained
the required degree of consistency, hardening into yellowish "tears".
~Botanical: Boswellia Thurifera
