Originally from Puntland, a historic region of Somalia, Luban Somali Maydi is much more than a simple resin: it is a true natural treasure passed down through generations. Hand-harvested from Boswellia frereana trees, this “king of incense” is renowned for its exceptional quality and many traditional uses.
 
Puntland, once associated with the legendary “Land of Punt,” was already supplying the pharaohs with precious incense. Today, this ancient tradition continues with Luban Maydi, prized for its purity, rarity, and distinctive character.
 
A Unique Aroma, Everyday Benefits
 
What makes Luban Somali Maydi so special is its fresh, subtly sweet fragrance with delicate citrus notes. But its use goes beyond its aroma.
 
Traditionally chewed like a natural gum, it is valued for:
 
✔️ Naturally freshening the breath
✔️ Helping maintain healthy teeth and gums
✔️ Soothing mouth ulcers and supporting digestion
 
A simple daily ritual, rooted in an ancient tradition.
 
Please Note:
 
Although Maydi can also be burned as incense, it is particularly appreciated for its traditional wellness uses. If you are looking for a resin better suited to burning and creating a fragrant atmosphere, we recommend Luban Somali Beeyo.
