Absolute Aromas Frankincense Oil 10ml

The Frankincense, or Olibanum, is a small tree which grows to a height of up to 7 meters. It has narrow leaves and pale pink or white flowers.

The East African origin refers mainly to Somalian resin, but some of it also comes out of Kenya. Olibanum comes from the bark of the boswellia species, which is prompted to exude resin when incisions are made in the bark. This oil is steam distilled in France from top quality resin. European distillation allows better control over production than oils distilled at source.

Frankincense has Antibacterial, Analgesic, Antispasmodic, Calmative and Immune tonic properties.

Frankincense (Boswellia Carterii)

Method of Extraction: The oil is steam distilled from the gum resin.

For a luxurious, nourishing facial moisturiser, blend 2 drops of Frankincense with 1 drop of Rose (preferably Otto) in 10ml of Evening Primrose or Borage oil and apply sparingly.

To help quiet the mind after a hectic day in the office place 2 drops of Frankincense and 2 drops of Bergamot in a burner or diffuser. Alternatively blend the same oils in a teaspoon of Peach Kernel oil and add the blend to a warm bath.
