Background: Gummy exudates from boswellia along with other gum resins. 

Description: In the arid mountains of India, Boswellia grows into a large tree with branches. The trunk of the tree produces a gummy substance called oleoresin when tapped. This substance is then purified and the extract is used for herbal medicines.
