Collection Process :
The collection of Boswellia serrata gum involves making small incisions or cuts in the bark of the Boswellia serrata tree. These incisions allow the resin to ooze out slowly, forming tear-shaped droplets that harden upon exposure to air. The resin is then carefully harvested by hand and left to dry naturally, after which it is graded and processed for various uses.
