Average Product Rating: 5 / 5 (Based on 7 Customer Reviews)



Botanical Name: Boswellia carteri

Plant Part: Resin

Extraction Method: Steam Distilled

Origin: Egypt

Description: The Frankincense tree is a scraggly but hardy tree which originates from Oman and the Middle East. By slashing the barks of the tree, a sticky, fragrant resin is produced from which the Frankincense Oil is derived.

Color: Colorless to pale yellow clear liquid.

Common Uses: Frankincense Essential Oil is highly prized in the perfumery industry and in Aromatherapy. The therapeutic properties of Frankincense Oil include use as an antiseptic, astringent, carminative, digestive, diuretic, sedative, tonic and expectorant. It has remarkable rejuvenating and healing properties and is excellent in skincare manufacturing. Frankincense Essential Oil is also believed to encourage a meditative state bringing balance and peace to individuals.

Consistency: Medium

Note: Base

Strength of Aroma: Medium

Blends well with: Basil, Bergamot, Cardamom, Cedarwood, Chamomile, Cinnamon Bark, Clary Sage, Coriander, Geranium, Ginger, Myrrh and Vanilla.

Aromatic Scent: Frankincense Essential Oil has a warm, pungent, sweet smell.

History: Frankincense is from the French word 'Franc' meaning 'luxuriant' or it could be 'real incense'. Also known as Olibanum, Frankincense was used by the ancient Egyptians as an offering to the gods and as a rejuvenating facemask.

Cautions: Frankincense Essential Oil is non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing. Avoid use during pregnancy.

Oh, my gosh! I LOVE this stuff. A friend told me to wear it when I'm around people with negative energy, so I tried it and was able to stay grounded. And the aroma is HEAVENLY. I must look so strange sniffing my wrists all day, but I just can't help it.

This Frankincence is divine. I have both this and the Frereana. This is a more complex scent; spicy, woody with a slight sweetness to it. I've used this in my Third Eye and Crown Chakra blends as well as in a facial toner. I love this frankincense.

I buy from NDA but got this from a friend who does as well. It is fabulous to say the least. I used it in my Neti pot while suffering from a severe Sinus Infection with Myrrh also and it helped so much! I'm currently working on becoming a LSH / Licensed Spiritual Healer. So if you are not familiar with using Theraputic Grade Oils in this manner you should consult a NA first. But NDA's oils are fabulous and wonderful to say the least. I use fragrance oils also just for scent and such and they are very nice. I do enjoy however diffusing the essential oils for theraputic reasons. Myrrh and frankincense both are antibacterial and antiviral soooooooo, they work great in soaps, baths when you are sick, in shampoo for scalp conditions etc. But once again if you are not familiarized in this area. Do as NDA suggests and see a NA first. These will not float across your skin in the tub and burn you. You for one only need a few drops at the most. make sure it is dispursed in the water. Oils that burn on contact are NOT theraputic grade. I've had this in my nose for heavens sake as well as my mouth with no ill effects. If not theraputic grade you would receive burns. Soooooooo, with that said. NDA rocks! And this smells fantastic!

This is the most fragrant Frankincense oil that i have come across. This is the hard to find, superior quality frankincense oil I have been looking for. Deep and resinous with spicy and woodsy hints. Great for respiratory complaints and skin problems. I also use this in meditation blends.

I have purchased both the Frereana and Egyptian. This Frankincense Egyptian grade is of superior quality than the Frereana. It has the true, rich elements of frankincense. It transports you to another world, its magical!
