Frankincense (D) Essential Oil

Frankincense Essential Oil is steam distilled from the resin of the Boswellia carterii tree, which belongs to the Burseraceae family. Also known as Olibanum, this oil has a warm, woody, and resinous aroma that is widely used in aromatherapy. In addition, its calming scent makes it a favourite for meditation and relaxation. It also blends beautifully with other essential oils to enhance aromatic experiences.

Uses of Frankincense Essential Oil

• Add a few drops to an oil burner or diffuser, and the soothing aroma creates a tranquil atmosphere.
• Inhale the fragrance directly to encourage calmness and focus.
• Blend with a carrier oil for massage or aromatherapy applications.
• Add to bathwater for a fragrant and relaxing soak.
• Apply to aromatherapy jewellery, such as diffuser bracelets or necklaces, to enjoy the aroma throughout the day.

Historical Background

People have valued frankincense for thousands of years. For example, the word derives from the French franc, meaning luxuriant. Ancient Egyptians burned frankincense as holy incense and used it in face masks. They also ground the burnt resin into kohl to highlight the eyes, which appears in Egyptian art. Over time, frankincense became a symbol of divinity and continues to be used in meditation and ceremonial practices today.

How to Use Essential Oils

• Diffusion: Add to a diffuser or oil burner to fill the space with its warm, resinous aroma.
• Topical Application: Dilute with a carrier oil before applying to the skin.
• Inhalation: Inhale directly from the bottle or place a few drops on a tissue.
• Bath: Add to warm bathwater for a soothing soak.
• Aromatherapy Jewellery: Apply to diffuser jewellery to enjoy the aroma all day.
