Dhuni Khada

Dhuni khada is a milky white resin extracted from species of the genus Boswellia, which thrive in arid, cool areas of the India and some countries. Harvesters make a longitudinal cut in the tree’s trunk, which pierces gum resin reservoirs located within the bark. The sap slowly oozes from the cut and drips down the tree, forming tear-shaped droplets that are left to harden on the side of the tree. These beads are collected after two weeks.  It has been used for hundreds of years for treating arthritis, healing wounds,
