Frankincense Oil (Boswellia serrata / Boswellia carterii)
Introduction
Frankincense Oil is a precious essential oil obtained through steam distillation of the resin from Boswellia trees, native to the Middle East and parts of Africa. Known as the “King of Oils,” frankincense has been treasured for thousands of years in spiritual rituals and perfumery.
Its aroma is woody, balsamic, and slightly spicy, making it one of the most sought-after oils in aromatherapy, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Historically, frankincense was burned in temples and traded as a luxury item in Egypt, India, and Arabia.
