DESCRIPTION
"Frankincense has, among its physical properties, the ability to slow down and deepen the breath... which is very conducive to prayer and meditation."
-Lassak, E.V & McCarthy, T. Australian Medicinal Plants, p.201
Frankincense essential oil is one of the most popular oils for mental wellbeing and spiritual grounding. Extracted from the resin of the Boswellia tree, this warm and sweet oil has been used for centuries as incense in India, China and by the Catholic Church. Ancient Egyptians used Frankincense in for its beautifying effects, incorporating it in face masks, cosmetics and perfume.
Diffusing Frankincense helps to lift the mood of a room, easing anxiety and bringing inner peace and calm. Its anti-bacterial properties also make it suitable to relieve and prevent cold and flu symptoms. Frankincense can also help reduce skin blemishes, heal wounds, moisturise skin, improve skin's radiance and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
