Frankincense Essential Oil
for Aromatherapy
Purpose: Obtained from the
gum resin of the small, bushy Boswellia carteri tree, frankincense (or olibanum) has long
been associated with spirituality. One of the first oils to be used in perfume, it was
commonly used for incense, medicine, embalming and as a highly valued cosmetic ingredient.
Frankincense is found throughout the Red Sea region as well as northeast Africa. Like
myrrh, it was a prized possession in the ancient world rivaling the value of many precious
gems and metals. Frankincense was one of the gifts presented to baby Jesus.
Frankincense essential oil contains primarily monoterpene
compounds which makes it a powerful anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and astringent. It is
useful for wounds, acne and dry, chapped, mature skin. Frankincense supports the
respiratory system and immune system weakened by colds, flu, bronchitis, coughs and
laryngitis. It also supports the nervous system during times of anxiety, stress and
nervous tension. Frankincense has the ability to slow and deepen respiration,
thereby allowing feelings of calm, comfort and serenity which helps a person to feel
centered, introspective and meditative. Frankincense also benefits the digestive and
urinary systems as well as the uterus especially during menses.
