Frankincense, UAE, Essential Oil
Frankincense, boswellia carterri, is the traditional incense of the Middle and Far East.
That calming influence can be used when one is hoping for increased contemplation and concentration. Frankincense is also thought to be antiseptic and inhalation of frankincense has been suggested to be helpful to treat bronchitis, colds and sinus infections.
Frankincense blends well with patchouli, myrrh, bergamot and lavender.
