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.

Frankincense 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.

Tea tree is one of the favourite oils that I use as a Beauty Therapist. Chamomile is one of the most useful herbs in the beauty world because of its anti-inflammatory and anti-irritating properties.
