Description
Frankincense comes from the scraggly boswellia carteri tree originally grown in the Middle East. Harvesters slash the bark of the tree, and, over time, a sticky resin oozes out of the tree. Our Egyptian frankincense oil is steam-distilled from frankincense resin.
Common Uses:
Frankincense essential oil is used to rejuvenate and heal damaged skin. It is also commonly used to bring balance and peace through meditation. Apply topically in a 2-5% dilution, or diffuse for a deep, relaxing effect.
Aromatic Scent:
Frankincense Essential Oil has a warm, pungent, sweet smell.
History:
Frankincense is from the French word ‘Franc’ meaning ‘luxuriant’ or it could be ‘real incense’. Also known as Olibanum, Frankincense was used by the ancient Egyptians as an offering to the gods and as a rejuvenating face mask.
Cautions:
Frankincense Essential Oil is non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing.
Avoid use during pregnancy.
