Dive into the world of authentic organic frankincense oil to explore how it can elevate your health, skincare, and overall wellness routines.
The Ancient Origins and Sacred Significance of Frankincense
Frankincense has deep historical roots. From ancient Egypt to the Middle East, it was highly valued for religious, medicinal, and cosmetic purposes. Traditionally, frankincense resin is harvested by making incisions in the bark of Boswellia trees, allowing the sap to seep out and harden into resin "tears." These precious tears are distilled into essential oil, capturing the plant's potent essence.
With its grounding, woody aroma, certified organic frankincense has long been associated with meditation, spiritual connection, and tranquility. In various cultures, it is used in anointing oils, meditation practices, and rituals, thanks to its calming and centering effects.
Three Types of Certified Organic Frankincense at HBNO®
1.Boswellia Serrata
Known as one of the oldest and most versatile types of frankincense, Boswellia Serrata offers a distinctive sweet, light floral, and slightly citrus aroma with pine undertones. This variety is renowned for its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and decongestant properties, making it ideal for skincare and respiratory health.
2. Boswellia Carterii
Boswellia Carterii is often favored for its balanced, crisp, woody, and slightly spicy aroma. This variety has a calming and centering effect that enhances meditation and spiritual practices. It's also popular in skincare routines for minimizing signs of aging, as it helps repair skin cells, reducing the appearance of fine lines and scars.
3. Boswellia Frereana
Known as the "king of frankincense," Boswellia Frereana produces a rich, citrusy, and floral aroma. This type is particularly effective in supporting skin health, as it closes pores, tightens skin, and promotes a youthful glow.
