Frankincense
Frankincense is a modern name for boswellia essential oil, derived from the French language. The French phrase "franc encens" is translated as "pure incense," but is more inclined to the meaning of "true incense." Frankincense is one of the three precious gifts that the three sages brought to the unborn baby Jesus. Gold, myrrh and incense. In the olden days, frankincense was called incense and had the value of gold. Although the price of frankincense essential oil is affordable to every mortal today, its therapeutic properties are extraordinary. This special essential oil is highly valued in classical aromatherapy.
Luxurious frankincense oil is distilled from boswellia resin, which is extracted by cutting the bark of the tree. The milky white liquid gradually begins to penetrate through the incision, soon turning into hard, whitish or yellowish-brown, irregularly shaped pieces ranging in size from pea to walnut. These resins can be incinerated on a piece of burning charcoal or distilled to obtain frankincense essential oil.
Frankincense's history dates back to several thousand years. The resin of the boswellia tree is thought to have been one of the first substances that mankind began to use for therapeutic purposes. In the Red Sea region, Middle East, North Africa, Oman, India, where frankincense originates, fragrant resins have been used as an antiseptic for wound healing as well as chewing gum, especially for those with oral or respiratory health problems. As well, it is mentioned that in ancient time crushed resin was used as a spice, and frankincense resin dust was added to kohl - a black dye that Egyptians applied around their eyes.
The boswells of ancient culture considered the resins sacred, worthy of the Gods, so they used the incense in temples and places of worship in order to purify the space, to prepare it for religious rites. In these days, in every church, especially abroad, you can smell the scent of frankincense.
In modern aromatherapy, frankincense essential oil is recommended for those who want to purify their thoughts and consciousness, clarify the mind, regain spiritual peace.
