Description
Frankincense is a resin produced by a small tree belonging to the Burseraceae family and the genus Boswellia. These trees live in very dry, rocky places with extreme climatic conditions.The Spanish word incienso comes from the Latin incensum, meaning to light.
Frankincense is mentioned around a hundred times in the Bible. It was one of the gifts the Three Wise Men presented to the baby Jesus, along with myrrh and gold.
It is still burned in temples and churches during religious rituals today.
In the Middle Ages, it was already used to promote wound healing, and was also thought to strengthen eyesight and memory. In India, it was used to treat rheumatic conditions. Traditionally, fumigation was used to disinfect living spaces.
The resin is extracted by making small cuts in the tree bark, and the essential oil is obtained from it.
Boswellia neglecta grows in some East African countries, particularly Somalia and Ethiopia, and is also found elsewhere in Africa, specifically Kenya.
Frankincense essential oil has a very distinctive, gentle aroma that may briefly remind us of fuel, quickly giving way to a warm, soft aroma that comforts and deeply relaxes us.
Frankincense essential oil invites us to savour a moment of peace and calm. It is particularly suitable for accompanying meditation and quietening the mind.
Therapeutically, it is particularly valued for relieving respiratory conditions, especially asthma. It is also used to relieve pain and promote wound healing.
Appearance: Clear liquid, light yellow to yellow.
Solubility: Soluble in alcohol and oil, insoluble in water.
