Description - Frankincense essential oil
Frankincense, also known as Olibanum, has been burned as incense in religious ceremonies since the time of the Babylonians and Assyrians, and the ancient Egyptians used Frankincense resin for everything from perfume to salves for soothing skin. Its soothing and beautifying properties are used to revitalise the appearance of skin and help reduce the appearance of imperfections when applied topically. When inhaled or diffused, Frankincense essential oil promotes feelings of peace, relaxation, satisfaction, and overall spiritual and emotional wellness.
doTERRA Frankincense essential oil is a blend of four species of the Boswellia tree; sourced as part of its co-impact sourcing initiative, direct from the growers in Oman (Boswellia sacra), Ethiopia (Boswellia papyrifera) and Somaliland (Boswellia carterii, Boswellia frereana).

Frankincense is such a beautiful grounding oil. In times of turmoil I put oil on soles of my feet and rub it gently in
