Frankinscence Essential Oil

Description

Frankincense essential oil is steam-distilled from the resin of the Boswellia tree, most commonly Boswellia carterii, Boswellia serrata, or Boswellia sacra. It has a rich, woody, balsamic, and slightly spicy aroma that has been treasured for centuries in rituals, medicine, and perfumery.

Often called the “King of Essential Oils”, frankincense was used in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome for religious ceremonies, embalming, and skin rejuvenation. Today, it remains one of the most versatile oils in aromatherapy, skincare, and emotional wellness, known for its grounding energy and healing power.
