Frankincense Resin
Wildharvested & Kosher Certified
Botanical Name: Boswellia Papyrifera
From: Ethiopia
DESCRIPTION
Frankincense provides one of the most evocative scents in the long history of aromatics. Its fresh, fruity, pine-lemon bouquet with delicately sweet, resinous and woody undertones, slows and deepens breathing and has been used since ancient times to awaken higher consciousness, and enhance spirituality, meditation, and prayer.
The name “Frankincense” is widely known as a historic biblical ingredient, and to many as one of three gifts from the visiting Magi to the newborn Jesus and as an ingredient in the Old Testament’s Exodus incense mixture. Few have experienced its aroma though or know of its rich history and how the world has treasured and used it since long before recorded time.
TYPICAL PREPARATIONS
Powdered resin added to water, tincture, and very rarely as a tea.
For internal use, sometimes mixed with myrrh or cress. In aromatherapy, frankincense is compatible with bergamot, cinnamon, clary sage, geranium, grapefruit, jasmine, lavender, lemon, myrrh, neroli, orange, patchouli, pine, rose, sandalwood, tangerine, and ylang-ylang.
Avoid: Not for use in pregnancy except under the supervision of a qualified healthcare practitioner.
