Frankincense Hydrosol, the benefits and uses

Frankincense Hydrosol is produced through the steam or hydro distillation process of the Boswellia Carteri resin. Hydrosols are also known as herbal distillates, essential waters, hydrolats and herbal waters. This results in a hydrosol with a superior aroma and great properties yielding the much-needed benefits of the resin, in a gentler way than the pure essential oil.

Frankincense Hydrosol is a beautiful skin-healer that boasts anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and analgesic properties, and an added ability to tone and improve skin texture. As Hydrosols are safer and gentler than pure Essential Oils, it is a great choice for people with sensitive systems, including children, the elderly and even pets. Frankincense Hydrosol can be used daily as a refreshing skin-toning facial spray that will leave your skin with noticeable softer, more delicate texture. Boswellia Hydrosol can also help deepen breathing by opening the airways, drying mucus in the lungs and expelling phlegm. Although dilution is still recommended for children and pets, hydrosols are less concentrated and therefor do not need dilution for use.

The hydrosol can also be used to prepare the mind for prayer, meditation or yoga. The fresh scents deepen the breath and helps the heart connect with peace. Meditation sprays containing the hydrosols, aids us in finding the solace many of us need in our stressful lives.

How do I use Frankincense Hydrosol?

As a toner
Combine 50ml Witch Hazel (non-alcoholic), 25ml Rose Water and 25 ml Frankincense Hydrosol in a 100ml spray bottle. Spritz on a clean skin after cleansing to balance and hydrate the skin. A few drops of your favorite essential oil can also be added should you prefer. Oils that are beneficial to the skin includes Carrot Seed, Sandalwood or Sweet Orange to name a few. Always shake well before use when adding Essential oils.

As a compressor
Since Frankincense has healing and anti-inflammatory properties, it aids as a compressor to relieve the pain from wounds or injuries. Place a washcloth in a bowl of cold / hot water for a cold / hot press, pour 100ml of Frankincense hydrosol in a cup and saturate the wash cloth. Wring out the excess liquid and apply the cloth in a desired area. The press will speed up the healing process.

As a face mask
Add Frankincense hydrosol to Bentonite Clay to form a natural mask.

Add 1 tbs bentonite clay with 2 tbs of Hydrosol to form a soft paste. Apply liberally with a mask brush over your skin and wait approximately 5 minutes for the paste to dry, then wash the clay mix off. It is important to note that the mask must not be left on too long, as Bentonite is a volcanic ash and needs to be used with care (Longer is NOT better) and always only use wood, plastic or glass. Please do not use metal utensils with Bentonite Clay.
