Frankincense oil (Boswellia Frereana) is extracted from the resin of the Boswellia Sacra tree, and other trees of similar species. The Boswellia Sacra tree can grow up to eight metres tall and features thin, peeling bark, tangled branches, and clustered leaves.
The trees often grow on southern coastal mountains and rocky slopes and are native to Ethiopia, Somalia, Oman, and Yemen.
Use Frankincense oil aromatically to incite feelings of peace, satisfaction, relaxation, and overall feelings of improved wellness.
Apply topically to rejuvenate and beautify the skin. Additionally, Frankincense oil can be administered internally by adding one or two drops to tea or a veggie capsule. Internal application benefits healthy cellular function, supporting the immune system and producing healthy inflammatory responses.
Frankincense was held in high regard by ancient civilisations and used in sacred practices. It is valued by several religions and is sometimes used in religious ceremonies.
