History of Frankincense

From the time of the Magi... to your diffuser, essential oils have captivated our senses. One of the oldest and most versatile oils is Frankincense, a resin oil from the Middle East.

Once popularly used around the world and thought to be one of the Middle East and Asia’s largest commodity, frankincense has continued to stay well-loved in today’s culture.

Many people have used frankincense for personal, religious, and medicinal uses. Egyptian women used the resin in their eyeshadows.

Frankincense is often burned symbolizing prayer.
