Frankincense Essential Oil - Serrata

Frankincense Oil, also called olibanum (Arabic: luban), is produced from the resin of the genus Boswellia.

The word incense comes from the term "francencens", which means quality incense in Old French.

Therefore, it was considered a "pure incense" and the most desirable of all other types of incense.

Its powerful aroma can be described as woody, earthy and spicy with a fruity undertone.

The main chemical components of essential oil are limonene, pinene, borneol, farnesol, phellandrene, and myrcene, with mild anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties that soothe dry and sensitive skin.

This powerful essential oil is revered for its ability to beautify and rejuvenate the skin when applied topically and to promote cellular health.

Its astringent properties are said to help balance oily or overactive skin.

This is one of the oldest essential oils and dates back to ancient Egypt.

In Ayurvedic medicine, Indian frankincense (B. serrata), commonly known as 'dhoop', has been used for hundreds of years for arthritis, strengthen the female hormonal system, and purify the atmosphere of undesirable germs.

For some religions, incense is correlated with one of the most precious possessions of ancient Biblical times.
