Description Frankincense Essential Oil – Pure Boswellia serrata Frankincense essential oil is extracted from the aromatic resin of Boswellia serrata trees. This resin has been traded across the Arabian Peninsula, North Africa, and Somalia for over 5,000 years and has long been valued in perfumery, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and aromatherapy. The oil has a warm, balsamic-spicy aroma with subtle lemon notes and a conifer-like undertone. In aromatherapy, it is traditionally used to lift mood, support relaxation, and promote a sense of well-being. Frankincense oil can be used in diffusers, massage blends, or added to baths for a grounding and calming effect. Frankincense also has deep spiritual and religious significance. It is used in many Christian churches, including Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Catholic traditions. According to the Gospel of Matthew (2:11), frankincense was one of the gifts presented to Jesus by the Magi. Across Abrahamic faiths, it has been mixed with oils to anoint newborns, initiates, and individuals entering new phases of spiritual life.
