Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) has a
sweet, warm, balsamic aroma that is stimulating and elevating to the
mind. Useful for visualizing, improving one's spiritual connection,
and centering, it has comforting properties that help focus the mind
and overcome stress and despair. Frankincense is considered the holy
anointing oil in the Middle East, where it has been used in
religious ceremonies for thousands of years. More recently, it has
been used in European and American hospitals and is the subject of
substantial research. Frankincense is also a valuable ingredient in
skin care products for aging and dry skin. The ancient Egyptians
used it in rejuvenation face masks. Frankincense has an approximate
ORAC of 6,125 (TE/L).
