 (Boswellia carteri) Frankincense Essential Oil, known as "Liquid pearls from the tree of life; for its joyous upliftment & soothing detachment from stress and strain, wear and tear. A fragrant light to shine in the night of the soul." – Malte Hozzel. This pale yellow slightly viscous liquid has a fresh top note with a deep, warm, rich balsamic undertone.
The spirit of the sacred and of meditation has surrounded Frankincense essential oil for ages; its special mindset is "vertical", like smoke rise to the heavens. Resins and their oils have always been associated with fumigation and purification. Frankincense oil has the power to uplift human awareness to that "other" level by freeing the nerves from excessive tension, allowing us to focus on the underlying transcendental unity of our inner Self.
Frankincense oil is linked to the psyche, which in Greek also means "breathing". It deepens and revitalizes the breath and adds to these effects its excellent immunostimulant properties. In skin care, frankincense oil reveals its balsamic nature through its miraculous wound healing properties. Astringent and anti-inflammatory, it is traditionally used to treat scar tissue and skin ulcers, and nourishes dry and prematurely aging skin.
Its anti-depressant, euphoric qualities are used in psycho-aromatherapy to treat anxiety & nervous tension.
