Frankincense 10ml

Frankincense (Boswellia Carterii)

Frankincense essential oil is obtained from the dried and distilled resin of the Frankincense tree, which is native to specific regions of Africa and the Middle East. It can thrive in a dry, rocky, desert environment requiring negligible amounts of soil. Harvesting Frankincense resin involves farmers making incisions in the tree bark until it exudes its secreted milky fluid, which it expels in the form of small “tears.” The droplets are allowed to dry on the tree for ten days, after which time they are scraped off and given another period to completely harden. At this dried stage, the resin looks like tiny, rough, uneven, translucent rocks.

Frankincense Essential Oil has been used for thousands of years in religious ceremonies, skincare, and medicinal practices. In aromatherapy, Frankincense Essential Oil is known for promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and enhancing spiritual well-being. Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties also make it valuable in skincare, where it helps soothe irritated skin, reduce the appearance of scars and wrinkles, and promote a more youthful complexion.
