Just to try to help clarify (the title makes this regrettably confusing) - they don't mean protecting in the sense of a protected designation of origin, or in the sense of trade protectionism. The video description is using the word "protection" to mean conservation. I think the trees are actually notoriously hard to grow outside of their natural habitat. Despite this, frankincense is surprisingly affordable depending on variety, although there are certainly more expensive ones.
Were you able to understand anything said in this video? I was really bummed that they didnt provide any English captions 😕 I've seen frankincense & myrrh plenty of times in street market vids & never thought i would actually find it in person, but my local drug store actually had it! They are small 2oz packages. ($4.99 each) it is relatively small pieces compared to what they are selling here in this video as well 😅 so i am guessing the quality must be much less also, but I was just too excited to actually find it in person! I am going to try one of them soon & I am excited to find out what they smell like 😃😃😃
@@justinmichaelroberts5013 I don't think my method worked. I also seen a video using them with a tea light wax warmer and the man put them in vegetable oil and said the smell lasted for days. I have electric warmers & they dont get AS hot. I did notice the frankincense kind of melted together in the oil but i never did smell anything. Can it go bad from being old? Even the bag itself didnt have much smell, is that normal? I might just have to invest in a tea light warmer to truly try it. It just we bought wax warmer to sell online so i have two from that 😅 plus a ceramic one.
@@marieellis6084 I'm not too sure about there being a shelf life, I dont think so really, but yeah its expected that the unheated resin will not provide much of any smell, (maybe different for higher grades? I cant say). I have a simple ceramic tealight oil warmer that was quite inexpensive, but there are also (reasonably priced I think) adjustable metal ones (brass? not sure) that you can use to adjust the distance between the incense and the candle flame. I dont think those ones even use oil, not too sure. But yeah, whatever you do, feel free to comment and let me know how it goes!
Protecting? What the UNESCO mean by that? The best thing to do instead of protecting, why not allow all other countries to plant that trees? instead of protecting? Is there control or money involve?
