Frankincense oils come from trees of the Burseraceae family. Frankincense oil is also called olibanum and is a sweet smelling resin that is used in perfumes and incense. Incense is an organism that produces a fragrant smoke when light. The term is of the matter and not of the smell that it produces.

It is an aromatic resin obtained from trees that are found in Africa and Asian, namely the Boswellia and B Carteri. The more common names for the Boswellia Serrata is the Indian Olibanum, Luban and Gond tree. The only parts that are used are from the bark and the resin which is obtained from the tree gum. The bark is a cooling and sweet tonic and is used for those that suffer from asthma and coughs. It is a natural antiseptic in nature and is an excellent source to be used as an anti-inflammatory and diuretic.

The resin is stripped from the hardy trees that have an appearance of being untidy and left to bleed out. Given time this resin will harden and is then referred to as tears. Each group will produce a different resin. Diverse soils and climates that they are found in can also cause the resin to vary even amongst the same kind of tree. In some instances these trees have been found to grow out of rock cropping and tend to have a spherical swelling on the trunk.

In this day and age it is often used with different essential oils. They are natural liquids with aromatic compounds found in many different plants. Each plant is in need of this in order to survive. All of these oils are very clean and gets absorbed immediately into the skin. The pure kinds are transparent and the colour can range from very clear to a deep and crisp blue.

Unfortunately these tree populations are declining quite rapidly due to over use. This means that the trees are harvested at a rate that is indefensible, given time they will soon become extinct. Those trees that have not been tapped germinate 80% more than those that are tapped regularly producing only 16%. The decline of the trees can also be brought about with the grazing of animals, burning of surrounding areas as well as the longhorn beetle. Many use the material to help stimulate the digestive process before and after meals as well as helping to sooth any sore and aching tummy.

It is believed that the aroma has an influence on the brain through the olfactory system. This is the sense of smell and it is proven that most mammals and reptiles have two different parts of this system. The most important one is the main olfactory system which detects airborne and explosive substances. The accessory olfactory system is more in tune with the liquid phase stimuli or pheromones.

It is commonly known as the product of Sanfoqi due to the fact that it was found in the remote forests in three Dashi countries. Once the trunks were notched it was allowed to harden and then transported by elephants. There it was loaded onto ships in exchange for other useful commodities.

The oil can be obtained over the internet or at the Young Living distillery in Oman. It is mostly used by those that are wishing to take their meditation and spiritual journey to another level. Generally the bottles come with 5ml in them and are unfortunately a bit difficult to find.
