Considered a holy, anointing oil in the Middle East, Frankincense has a beautifully sweet, warm, balsamic aroma that stimulates and elevates the mind.
Often used for visualising and improving spiritual connection, it is also very comforting, allowing us to overcome stress and despair. It’s the perfect choice for those who are dealing with anxiety, promoting deep breathing that allows the sufferer to move the mental state back to calmness. It was often used in face masks in Egypt, for its rejuvenation properties, helping to eliminate sun spots, micro-wrinkles and generally toning and tightening skin!
Frankincense is also available in its original resin state, being burnt on charcoal to release the gorgeous fragrance into the air. The smoke and fumes are thought to have antiseptic and disinfectant qualities too. It’s often used in ritual, and offers great protection.
A very useful resin indeed, and available in both essential oil and resin form from A Touch of Serenity.
