While at Young Living’s Lavender Farms I enjoyed a class on our seed to seal process. During this class they had Dr. Hassan share about Frankincense. His grandfather has the partnership for the fields Young Living uses in Somalia where we harvest our Frankincense. What is so awesome is that he shared some of this frankincense resin with ME! (see pic below) They chew on it like chewing gum, so the healing and life preserving properties of frankincense are absorbed through their gums. His grandfather is 119 years old…119!!! How amazing is that?
In Somalia, Frankincense resin is how they measure wealth. 1 kilo of frankincense resin = 1 million dollars! The picture below is a slide from the presentation, but I thought it was neat to see the resin “leaking” and being harvested from the trees.
In this picture is Dr. Hassan Saleh Hassan, a bottle of frankincense, and me! Now, guess how old he is! I was way off by my guess. Post your guesses in the comments, whoever is the closest I will send a small package of samples. Post your guesses by July 6th!
And here I am lounging in the lavender field for a nap…

Update…he’s 56!
Im gonna guess 56
I am going to guess 63, but he does not look that old at all! Cool stuff!!!!
I am going to guess this guy is 75 based on his grandfather being 119. He looks closer to 45 however!
I am guessing 72.
I’m guessing 76.
70
68
I’m going to say 60 even though he looks younger.
Ok So how old is he? Never saw a reply…..
I know, I’m so SORRY I slacked on the response! Jenny Simmons was my very first guess, and she was RIGHT! I just couldn’t believe it! He was so neat to meet in person. The family’s love and care for the trees and their knowledge of their full value was awesome to learn about. 🙂
AHHH! I forgot to post his age! I was talking with my friend Jenny Simmons today and she reminded me that she had guessed and still didn’t know! He is 56! Jenny was right! Congratulations! He was so peppy and energetic in person that I think it threw off my guess when talking to him. 🙂 Thanks for your guesses everyone!
He absolutely doesn’t look 56….. Wowzers!
