Frankincense is collected from the sweet smelling ‘tears’ of resin shed from small trees on the Arabian Peninsula.

The oil emits a haunting woody aroma and has been added to cosmetics and perfumes since Ancient Egyptian times to protect and fortify aging skin.

A steam inhalation or bath using Frankincense will ease tension and relieve stress by deepening the breath.

Used in the past to aid journeys and provide a sense of protection where there have been feelings of vulnerability.
