DETAILS
Remedy’s Nutrition® Frankincense essential oil is extracted from the aromatic resin obtained from the Boswellia serrata tree, native to India. Its fragrance is described as earthy, woody, and spicy.
The English word Frankincense derives from the Old French expression franc encens, meaning "high-quality incense." The word franc in Old French meant "pure" or "noble."
With a varied range of uses and extraordinary benefits, Frankincense is considered the "king" of all essential oils.
Frankincense was highly valued by ancient cultures and utilized for the most sacred practices. It was used for incense, perfume, holy ointments, and as a fumigant. For example, in ancient biblical times, it was one of the ingredients the Hebrews used in their holy incense offering to God, and it was given as a gift to Christ after his birth. Also, the ancient Egyptians made use of Frankincense for soothing skin, as a perfume, and even during the mummification process.
Today, Frankincense's powerful properties are widely used by people seeking to improve their everyday lifestyle. From beauty purposes to health-promoting benefits, Remedy’s Nutrition® recommends Frankincense in your must-have essential oil kit.

DOSAGE
Frankincense essential oil is concentrated and potent; a couple of drops are usually enough for topical use and aromatherapy.
When using Frankincense oil on your skin, make sure to dilute it with a carrier oil, such as almond, coconut, or avocado oil. Always do a patch test. Since Remedy’s Nutrition® Frankincense essential oil is in its pure and undiluted state, start with small amounts: three drops in a teaspoon of carrier oil. If tolerated, you may increase the ratio until the desired effect is obtained.
