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.
It is known as Olibanum.
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 carterii grows in some Middle Eastern countries, particularly Oman, and is also found in Africa, specifically Somalia and Ethiopia.
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.

Me encanta este aceite esencial
View original
Para empezar y probar creo que este está muy bien. El aroma es intenso, muy rico. Tengo uno de otra marca (barato) y no tiene nada que ver, este es mucho más profundo, lo abarca todo con poco que le eches. Lo usaré en cosmética, quizá los haya mejores, pero quería probar antes de lanzarme a pagar otros precios. Me ha gustado, cuando termine con este, repetiré. Dicen que es muy bueno el incienso para la piel del rostro.
