Frankincense Oil

Frankincense is also known as olibanum which is made from the wax of the Boswellia tree. Frankincense essential oil has an irresistible woody, balsamic fragrance, a light yellow color and a thin consistency. When used in aromatherapy blends, it is considered as a base note. Generally, it grows in the dry and mountain regions of India, Africa, and the Middle East. Frankincense oil can be inhaled, consumed through the skin, or taken as a supplement. Also, it is widely used in ayurvedic medicines for years; frankincense oil offers certain health benefits from improved arthritis, and digestion to reduce asthma.
