Character

No one can really say how far back the use of this sweet and earthy oil goes, but we do know that it scented the Egyptian Temples to honour Ra and Horus and it is referenced in the bible as one of the precious gifts given in Bethlehem. History would tell us, and we agree that this oil is very precious indeed!

Frankincense essential oil is a powerful astringent, meaning that it helps protect your skin cells while encouraging new skin cells to be born firm, strong with lots of elasticity. In the holistic skin care industry when we think of Frankincense, we think of cellular regeneration. It can be used to help reduce acne blemishes, lighten and brighten age spots, the appearance of large pores and yes, even be used to smooth out and plump up fine lines and wrinkles. This oil is also a promoter of firm skin and can be used in many formulations to reduce the appearance of sagging, promote elasticity and encourage collagen production.

This precious oil is often used as an overall health tonic, as it offers benefits to all of the body’s systems, but some of its star functions are helping the body to optimally absorb nutrients, boost the immune system and ward off illness.

Frankincense has long been used in aromatherapy practice and one of the ways to reap its benefits is to diffuse the oil in an aromatherapy diffuser. Just a few of the many benefits this essential oil promotes is relaxation by helping to open airways and reduce blood pressure, and a feeling of mental tranquility ideal for meditation. This oil also has a psychoactive chemical called trahydrocannabinole which is said to expand consciousness.
