Details
A gift fit for a king! Frankincense is what Christians believe baby Jesus received as a gift at his birth. Given the title The King of Oils, in ancient times this luxurious oil was deemed more precious then gold.
To produce frankincense harvesters make careful incisions in the trunks of Boswellia trees to scrape out its oozing sap. This hardens into frankincense resin that is steam-distilled into essential oil. As for the Boswellia tree bark, left over resin eventually forms a protective scab allowing the cuts in the tree to heal. It’s no wonder this special oil processes the healing properties it promises.
Like most oils frankincense provides an array of benefits, when diffused it induces a calming effect, lifting the spirit. Not stopping there, this wonder oil also relieves respiratory conditions such as asthma and nasal congestion. In the area of skin care it’s also got you covered; Frankincense Essential Oil is effective in treating minor wounds, scars and blemishes, even reducing signs of wrinkles!
Simply dilute Frankincense- Serrata Essential Oil with a carrier oil and conduct a quick patch test before incorporating this royal scent to your self-care regime.
