Description
Latin name: Boswellia Carterii
Part of the plant used: resin
Source: Oman
Extraction method: steam distillation
5% dilution in grape seed oil
Frankincense essential oil is steam distilled from the resin of the Boswellia carterii tree, of the Burseraceae family, and is also known as Olibanum. The word is derived from the French franc, meaning lush, and was, along with myrrh, the first gum to be used as incense. The tree is native to the Middle East and is said to grow in natural bonsai formation in that parched land. Incense is said to symbolize divinity.
This oil is most popular in aromatherapy for its calming properties. It is said to help heal wounds and prevent scarring. It is used to tone the face, remove wrinkles and prevent stretch marks in cosmetic products. Frankincense essential oil has been used to reduce anxiety, stress, asthma, bronchitis, laryngitis and cough. It is a general tonic for the uterus, has a calming effect during labor and helps relieve heavy menstruation. It is especially useful during meditation. Avoid during pregnancy.
Ancient Egyptians burned frankincense as sacred incense and used it as a face mask. They grind the burnt resin into a powder called kohl, which is used to accentuate the eyes. Kohl-lined eyes are commonly seen in Egyptian art. The earliest mention of the use of frankincense was found in a tomb inscription of the 15th century BC Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut. It was used to disinfect the sick, to banish evil spirits.
