The essential oil of Frankincense is extracted from the Gum exuded from a small North African tree. It was highly prized in ancient times, along with myrrh which were one of the first gum incenses to be burnt in the temples of Egypt. The incense is yellowish with a balsamic, slightly spicy aroma. Franckincense is very valuable for its effectiveness on the mind, it's penetrating aroma and its ability to deepen the breathing makes it a helpful aid in meditation. It helps one to see which path to take and therefore is useful in the type of depression where a person is confused and needs to get moving. Franckincense is also used in aromatherapy for skin care and respiratory infections.
