About the Plant:
Frankincense is made up of two words: the old French word frank (free, pure, or abundant), and the Latin word incensum (to smoke). When the bark of the shrub is disturbed, it oozes out droplets of this precious substance. The beads of gummy resin are meticulously collected and then distilled for their essence.
Where it Grows:
Frankincense Essential Oil comes from sticky, fragrant resin harvested from the Boswellia shrub, native to the Middle East. Amrita® Aromatherapy is proud to receive Frankincense from India.
Traditional Uses and Lore:
Frankincense has been used for thousands of years throughout the Middle East in both homes and religious places of worship. It was thought to cleanse the environment, dispel evil spirits, protect against infection, and promote spirituality and prayer.
To get a sense of how valuable Frankincense was in ancient times, it was mentioned 20 times in the Bible. In Christianity, Frankincense is most commonly known as being one of three gifts brought by the Magi to the baby Jesus, alongside Myrrh and Gold. It has continued being burned ceremonially in the Catholic mass.
Frankincense was also used by Muslims for attracting angels and repelling evil forces and is burned in Mosques. In fact, Frankincense has been burned in religious ceremonies of various faiths over the centuries.

Frankincense
I have Ménière’s disease and recently found out from someone in my support group that a drop of frankincense behind each year helps tremendously with the vertigo. It works. I have used Amrita oils for a while now and would never use anything else. I use frankincense with coconut oil on my face and now I found a new use for one of my favorite oils. Thank you Amrita

High Quality Essential Oil
I love this Frankincense essential oil! Primarily, I enjoy using it for aromatherapy purposes. It’s great to use while working, to help maintain concentration. I find the fragrance very pleasant. It’s an earthy scent with notes of pine, citrus, and spices. I use this essential oil year-round, but I think many would find it particularly nice in the fall. I definitely recommend!
