Latin
name: Boswellia carterii.
Smell:
Woody, balsamic, resinous, spicy.
Frankincense
can help to relieve bronchial complaints and disturbed sleep. The oil has a wonderfully relaxing scent, perfect for use in
fragrancers. It can aid concentration and help you to slow down and deepen the breath during meditation. Frankincense helps
us connect to the deepest, most divine, part of ourselves, and can be used in the bath with intention to wash away feelings
and energies which we no longer wish to carry with us.
The
oil is steam-distilled from the resin exuded by the trunk of the tree.
