FRANKINCENSE OIL
OVERVIEW
Frankinscense is a powerful remedy comes from the Boswellia tree native to the southern Arabian peninsula (especially Oman and Yemen), northeast Africa, and parts of India. Long prized for its strongly spicy, woodsy aroma when burned or extracted, raw frankincense is still harvested much as it was thousands of years ago.
Frankincense Essential Oil is steam distilling the resin, or “tears” of the tree. The larger and lighter the resin, the better the quality. The purest (and most expensive) frankincense resin is almost white and comes from the second “bleeding” of the tree–and even then only under the right weather conditions. In the Western world typically see lower quality frankincense, which is golden or amber. It tends to smell sweeter, cleaner and fresher than the resin, and more people prefer the aroma of Frankincense Essential Oil to that of the resin when it's being burned as incense.
This essential oil can be used aromatically and topically for its earthy balsam fragrance.The perfume industry uses this oil in various fragrances and blends.
Frankincense is also of interest to producers of animal origin foods looking for natural supplements that ensure high yielding production, at the same time maintaining the animals in good health condition and creating the possibility to obtain healthy food. Therefore, frankincense was entered into the European Union Register of Feed Additives.
