Frankincense essential oil in aromatherapy is often called "the king of oils". Formerly used in the most important religious ceremonies and spiritual practices, today its remarkable fragrance and therapeutic properties are used. The extract is obtained from hand-picked and sorted incense tree resin (Boswellia). Although there are over 20 different species of the plant, Boswellia serrata is mainly used to produce the oil.
Frankincense oil shows high biological activity. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties - it can be used as an antiseptic for washing small wounds, but it is also perfect during infections. Used in the diffuser, it will clean the air, help get rid of excess phlegm and facilitate breathing, accelerating the recovery process.
Topically applied oil can alleviate many joint ailments (degeneration and rheumatic diseases). Research shows that it reduces inflammatory mediators, reduces swelling and pain symptoms, and improves mobility - especially during massage. The product will also work well in care, because it deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin. It improves condition, adds radiance and lightens scars. It supports the work of the body's cells and supports regeneration, which is certainly worth using while bathing.
It has a very characteristic, sensual and mysterious fragrance - resinous, spicy and woody with a refreshing, slightly fruity note. It reduces tension, reduces anxiety, earthes. It restores a sense of calmness, but does not make you drowsy. It improves mood and well-being, and facilitates concentration. The combination of health benefits and a rich, complex fragrance surely makes the extract a true "king of oils".
