Frankincense - The King of Oils
Frankincense, often referred to as the "king of oils," has been cherished for centuries for its powerful properties and versatile applications. From ancient rituals to modern aromatherapy, this essential oil continues to be a staple for emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness. Let’s explore what makes Frankincense essential oil so extraordinary.
What is Frankincense Essential Oil?
Frankincense is derived from the resin of the Boswellia tree, native to regions like Somalia and India. Its earthy, woody, and slightly spicy aroma has made it a key ingredient in incense, perfumes, and traditional remedies. The oil is extracted through steam distillation, capturing its therapeutic essence.
