Frankincense Oil Arrival

I love frankincense oil. Is an oil of healing. It creates a clearance to wrinkles when use for facial steaming.

U can use for clearing lungs related problems. It has many anti bacteria and healing properties that goes into cellular level.

For me I will put a drop on palm rub both palm together and inhale in time of out of balance.

Technical Specifications :

Frankincense carteri is very helpful for people with asthma because of the way in which it slows and deepens the breathing. Massage is the best form of treatment, concentrating on strokes which open the chest, as this area is often constricted in asthmatics. The heat of steam inhalations may have an adverse effect in asthma, so this method should only be used cautiously.
Botanical Name: Boswellia carteri

Origin: Resin obtained from Somalia (Africa) and extracted by steam distillation in France.

Frankincense carteri, when the bark is damaged the tree exudes a resin in drops ('tears') and the essential oil is extracted from the resin by steam distillation. In past times the resin was collected from trees in which cracks had appeared naturally, but later cuts were made in the bark systematically to encourage resin production.

Frankincense has a wealth of uses in skincare particularly helpful for older skins, and has a definite tonic effect, helping to restore some tone to slack-looking facial skin, and slowing down the appearance of wrinkles. It may even reduce the extent of wrinkles that have already formed. The oil has an affinity for the urino-genital tract, and was used a great deal in earlier times for treating infections in these organs. It is a uterine tonic and may be helpful for abnormally heavy periods, used in baths and gentle massage over the abdomen.

The oil varies from colourless to very pale yellow, with a clear, fresh, slightly camphorous penetrating odour. Among the chemical constituents which make up this oil are 1-pinene, dipentene, phellandrene, camphene, olibanol and various resins.
Frankincense, in the form of the resin, has been burnt on altars and in temples since earliest antiquity.

This use probably goes back far further than the earliest written records, and is perpetuated in the current practice of many religions. I find it fascinating to reflect on the fact that Frankincense has, among its physical properties, the ability to slow down and deepen the breath, and to breathe more slowly and deeply soon produces feelings of calm, which are very conducive to prayer and meditation. At what stage in the history of the use of Frankincense did our forbears discover this? Almost certainly, the origin of its use as an offering lay in the fact that Frankincense was among the most prized and costly substances in the ancient world.

Both the Hebrews and the Egyptians spent vast amounts of money importing Frankincense from the Phoenicians.
Apart from its ceremonial and ritual use, Frankincense was much sought after as a perfume, and used in cosmetics and medicine. The Egyptians also used it in embalming.

As already suggested, Frankincense is particularly active with regard to the lungs, and is one of the most valuable oils for use in respiratory infections. It is one of the best pulmonary antiseptics, calms coughs, and is indicated particularly where there is bronchial catarrh, for example, in chronic bronchitis. Use it in inhalations, massage and baths.
