FRANKINCENSE (Boswellia)

The oil is extracted from the tree resin.
Frankincense has been treasured for centuries and was burnt as the incense to appease all gods, and was used in many cultures to treat common ailments. It has a warm rich smell which is uplifting, relaxing, calming and is also mildly antiseptic. 

In aromatherapy it is wonderful for alleviating tiredness, bad temper, negative mood, lack of self-confidence and relieves emotional turmoil. It helps to sow down breathing and has a calming effect. 

USE AT HOME: Massage, Inhalation, Baths.
Dilute a few drops with carrier oil for a warming, relaxing, invigorating massage.
Massaging into temples helps relieve tension headaches. 
Inhale on a tissue or add a few drops to bath water to remove stress and sweeten your mood.
