Frankincense

Botanical Name: Boswellia Carterii

Botany and Origins: Frankincense is an arid tree native to Africa and the Middle East. Its essential oil contains over 200 molecular compounds which gives it a deep intoxicating scent that blends well with Bergamot, Lavender, Lemon, Myrrh, Orange, Pine and Sandalwood.

Blending: 

Aromatic blending is a combination of creativity and science. Essential oils will evaporate at different rates because of their molecular compositions. Oils that evaporate the quickest, usually within 1-2 hours, are called top notes. Oils that evaporate within 2-4 hours are considered middle notes and oils that take the longest time to evaporate - up to a few days - are referred to as base notes. Each of our oils have the fragrance 'Note' listed on the bottle. We recommend the following formula in creating your personal blend: Top note: 2-3 drops; Middle note: 4-8 drops; Base note: 1-3 drops. 

We can feel a little different each day, so follow your nose and intuition when blending for your personal preference. 

Use: 2-3 drops in diffuser, full body bath, foot bath or diluted in 10ml carrier oil for massage. A few drops in cooking. 

Plant Compounds: 

These are beneficial natural plant compounds and they differ between each essential oil, giving each oil its distinct natural properties.

Note: Australian Body essential oils are 100% pure & natural and are stringently tested for purity. Please consult a qualified practitioner for specific advice on the use of this 100% pure essential oil.
