Aromatherapy Properties:  Meditative,
mind-opening, and used for spiritual connection.  The aroma of
frankincense is sacred, tranquil and emotionally balancing.

Suggested Use:  Frankincense is often
used in a meditation practice. It is used in perfumery as a fixative to
help an aroma blend last longer.  Further, this essential oil is valued
in skin care, especially for mature and dry complexions or to nourish
minor wounds and scars.  

Note: The potency and incredible fragrancing
power of frankincense oil makes a small amount go a long way.  That is
why Aromaland offers a choice: 100% frankincense essential oil, or 10%
frankincense essential oil diluted in jojoba carrier oil.

History:  Frankincense has been used
to slow and deepen breathing during meditation and prayer in many
different cultures, from Catholicism and Christianity to Hinduism,
Buddhism, and more.   It is associated with divinity, and was one of the
presents given to newborn baby Jesus, according to the Bible. Further,
it is mentioned a total of 22 times in the Bible.

Frankincense is harvested by incising the tree trunks,
much like when harvesting maple syrup or natural gum. The excreted
resin hardens, and forms so called "tears."

Specific Safety Information:  Not for
internal use.  Dilute properly with topical use.  Some essential oils
may be contraindicated with certain medical conditions.  Ask your doctor
if you have any questions before use.
