Frankincense essential oil is extracted from the resin that is produced by the Boswellia carteri tree. It has been considered a valuable and precious oil since ancient time. Pictorial evidence from the tombs of the Pharaohs shows that Frankincense has been used since 1500 BC.
Frankincense is a calming oil that helps to slow down and deepen the breathing, which is why it has been long-used by many cultures as an aid to meditation and prayer. It is an ideal aromatherapy oil for people who cannot 'switch off' and for chronic worriers. Frankincense is also very helpful for mature or damaged skin.
