Frankincense oil, also known as olibanum oil, is derived from the resin of the Boswellia tree. It has a warm, woody, and slightly spicy scent and is commonly used in aromatherapy for its grounding and meditative properties. It is also known to have anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and astringent properties. The oil is also used in perfumes, skincare products, and can be added to a carrier oil for massage. The oil is generally considered safe but it is always best to patch test before using it in large areas and consult a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
