## About this gift

Also known as Olibanum, this frankincense oil is steam distilled from the resin of the Boswellia carterii tree. This 50 ml version is a 5% dilution in grapeseed oil. It suits anyone drawn to the oil of a traditional incense resin.

Boswellia carterii is the Latin name, and the part of the plant used is the resin. The extraction method is steam distillation. The word frankincense comes from the French franc, meaning luxuriant. This oil is not for eating, drinking or smoking, and not for use on skin. Avoid during pregnancy.

Ancient Egyptians burned frankincense as holy incense, and it was, along with myrrh, the first gum to be used as incense. It is said to symbolise divinity. Choose this oil if you like to learn the lore of ritual resins and want frankincense in a ready diluted form.
