Frankincense Etherische Olie (Serrata)

What is Frankincense Essential Oil?

Frankincense essential oil is one of the most widely used essential oils in the world. The warm, spicy and somewhat piney scent brings peace and balance. The beneficial properties of frankincense make your skin glow again.

To make this essential oil, small holes are drilled in the bark of the Boswellia Serrata tree, releasing small drops of sap. These droplets are then dried into resin and steam distilled, with essential oil as the end result.

Frankincense has been used for centuries for its beneficial properties. For example, the Egyptians used Frankincense resin for perfume, ointments, and many other things. The Babylonians burned the resin in spiritual ceremonies and according to the Old Testament, Frankincense resin was one of the gifts of the Three Kings to the baby Jesus.
