Common Uses: Frankincense Essential Oil is highly prized in the perfumery industry and in Aromatherapy. The scent of Frankincense is also believed to encourage a meditative state, bringing balance and peace to individuals. History: Incense has been traded for 5,000 years, was widely used in ancient Egypt, and was one of the ingredients used in the holy oil described in the Talmud. Frankincense was brought back to Europe by Frankish Crusaders (Frank-incense). Its resin is known as olibanum, derived from the Arabic al-luban or 'that which results from milking', referring to the milky sap tapped from the Boswellia tree from which the resinous tears are obtained.
