There are over 52 references to it in the Bible. Egyptian records show numerous references to it, including its use in cosmetics, perfumes, and as an embalming agent. The Chinese used it as part of a treatment for leprosy. Grown predominantly on the Somali coast and parts of the Arabian Peninsula, the resin is obtained by making deep cuts in the trunk of the tree lengthwise. Below this incision, a narrow strip of bark is peeled off, allowing the sap to run out, and as it touches the air, it begins to harden. It takes approximately three months for the plant to harden into the yellow “tears” that we are used to seeing, which will be sold at market. The sap is gathered from May until the rain showers start in September.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis resin grows in Somaliland and Somalia in Africa.

It is also believed it can drive away evil spirits. It is said that most Boswellia carterii resin is sold to the perfume industry, with France being one of the major purchasers. Boswellia carterii is used in many popular perfumes. France has an incredible history of distillation and perfumery with Boswellia carterii, especially in the Grasse region. It is also reported that China is a large purchaser of Boswellia carterii for use in Chinese medicine. Boswellia carterii is a source of boswellic acid.

Known in various Mayan languages, Copal resin is used for incense and medicinal purposes. Copal, considered to be the \"blood\" of trees, was designated as a worthy offering to the Gods. In ancient Mayan and Aztec ceremonial uses, there was a distinct symbolic connection between Maize and Copal. Maize (corn) was the primary staple food for humans. Copal was an offering in ritual for Food for the Gods. There is evidence of Copal being modeled into ritual objects shaped like 'ears' of Maize, and into miniature tortilla, disk-shaped incense. These are similar to pre-Hispanic copal offerings found in a cenote (pool) at Chichen Itza in the Yucatan, and elsewhere in central Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShamans inhaled the smoke from Copal to induce trance states. The various Copal resins of Mexico and the Americas are closely related to the Copals of Africa and the Damars of India and Indonesia. The American Copals generally have a sweeter aroma. Burned upon live coals in incense burners, the fumes and smoke are promoted to cure various illnesses, to protect against sorcery, sickness, and misfortune, and to cleanse the body after contact with the ill or dying, and others considered to be spiritually \"unclean\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts sweet, husky, resinous aroma is used for celebration, invocation, and protection. It is sacred to the indigenous cultures of Central and South America. It is burned year-round in churches there, and is still used in homes during Day of the Dead celebrations. It is thought that the familiar scent of Copal helps the souls of the departed to find their way back to visit among the living. Coapl is added to love and purification incenses. There are over 300 types of Copal available in the world - our Copal comes from Southern Mexico. A piece of Copal can also be used to represent the heart in poppets.
