Frankincense aromatherapyFrankincense aromatherapy oil was one of the most highly priced substances of the ancient world: it was once as valuable as gold. The oil has been sought after by ancient Egyptians, Greek Babylonianss, Persian and Romans. It has played a role in religious and domestic life but is probably best know by westerners for its part in the Christmas story. Frankincense oil is a base/middle note which has a warm, woody, sweet aroma with a hint of citrus.
Frankincense aromatherapy oil is beneficial in meditation as Frankincense slows and deepens breathing which is why the Egyptians used it for conditions such as bronchitis and asthma. The Frankincense Aromatherapy TreeFrankincense resin flows when a tool called a mengaff cuts into the bark. Large palms are placed under the tree allowing the resin to fall onto them and be collected two or three weeks later to scrape the hardened frankincense resin. You can burn frankincense resin to meditate by placing the resin in a bowl and lighting. Frankincense and Calendula nourishing cleansing oil - melts make-up like magic!Ideal for Mature and Dry Skin
