Frankincense Oil Description

Aromatic frankincense aids in meditation and focus. The aroma is clean and woody with a spicy tone. The oil is spicy, balsamic, green-lemon-like and peppery. It modifies the sweetness of citrus oils such as orange and bergamot. Frankincense is often used as the base for incense type perfumes and is important in Oriental, floral, spice and masculine scents.

Boswellia or Indian frankincense is one of the Ayurvedic gum resins which are referred to collectively as guggals. The oleoresin, (a naturally occurring mixture of an oil and a resin extract), is distilled from the gum that oozes from incisions made in the bark of the Boswellia thurifera tree. Frankincense is said to slow and deepen the breath, making it useful in meditation. When burned, frankincense produces phenol (carbolic acid), a highly antiseptic substance used to disinfect the air.
