Frankincense Essential Oil is often called the “king of oils,” and has a wide array of health benefits. These benefits can help your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. The oil’s aromatic and health-promoting properties are powerful and as a result, can easily improve your everyday life.
What is Frankincense?
The Boswellia Sacra trees produce a resin that creates Frankincense oil. These trees grow on rocky slopes and southern coastal mountains, and they can grow up to 8 meters. The trees are native to areas in Ethiopia, Somalia, Oman, and Yemen. The resin, a sap-like substance with a high viscosity, creates Frankincense oil. This oil contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory and purifying properties, as well as a protective effect on healthy cells. To use Frankincense oil, apply directly to the skin with a carrier oil.
How can Frankincense Oil be used?
Frankincense oil is highly regarded by ancient religions and was often used during sacred religious practices. Frankincense is one of the most prized possessions for some religions. Therefore, even today, many religious ceremonies still use Frankincense oil.
