Botanical Name: Boswellia carteri
Plant Part: Resin
Country of Origin: Somalia/France
Method of Extraction: Steam distillation
Plant material originates in Somalia, oil is distilled in France. Warm, woody, spicy, incense-like aroma. Frankincense has been used since ancient times in religious ceremonies and is still used in many churches today.
Some of its properties are antiseptic, astringent, cicatrisant, diuretic, digestive, uterine and sedative. Slows down breathing and produces feelings of calm. Ideally used for meditation. Like most other oils extracted from resins, frankincense is effective for respiratory catarrhal discharge and respiratory congestion. Used in inhalations, it may be helpful for asthma sufferers as it eases shortness of breath. Its astringent properties may relieve uterine hemorrhages, as well as heavy periods and generally acts as a tonic to the uterus. Its cytophylactic properties make it an ideal oil for mature, wrinkled skin in need of a lift.
Blends well with basil, geranium, lavender, orange, neroli, patchouli and sandalwood. Flash point: 80 deg. F. (Cannot ship via air or ocean w/o appropriate documentation, cannot ship via postal air services.)

Only Frankincense Carterii stops my reactive asthma attack that leads to anaphalaxis. I put in under my nose on my throat and chest when my throat starts to close or tongue gets thick and get away from offending smell causing my asthma and within 7 minutes I can breathe again. It works great on my dog to. Also, excellnet to put straight on wounds to heal and prevent infection, I use it my my face cream, too. Love it!!!

The quality of the France Frankincense is worth every penny. This is a complex, earthy scent, and it gets better with age. I had to up my quantity of oz I purchased, because I use it in so many of my popular EO blends

This oil has a very fresh, limpid, mineral, stingy and penetrating scent. It’s clean and sharp, no dullness here. There’s something sacred, mystic and crystalline about this scent. I imagine staring at the sky at dusk while the stars slowly appear one after the other.

Do not underestimate this oils worth! I use this with helichrysum, lavendar, and geranium in almond oil in a roller bottle as a facial serum before bed. Love it!

We have found this oil to be beneficial for so many things. Skin-cuts, wrinkles, rashes, you name it. Also just a wonderful, yes, heavenly scent. I like to add a drop to most of my blends, for massage oil or diffuser. Brings a great, warm balance to it.

I bought the Ethiopia and India. The Ethiopia, reviewed here is a tad sweeter than the Indian. Both are very good. If you are just getting into oils, get at least 1/2 ounce of Frankincense, you will use this one often.

This frankincense is far superior to others I have ordered from different companies, and I have tried several! This is most pure frankincense I have found anywhere. Its properties for nourishing mature skin are beyond par. A few drops of this oil in a carrier oil of your choice makes the best wrinkle serum you can imagine. In addition, however, this particular oil from Camden-Grey also has deeply aroma-therapeutic qualities.

Literally heavenly being a biblical scent, I was very pleased! Very strong and pleasing woody, menthol-ish so a little goes a long way! GREAT PRICE TOO!

I just ordered another bottle of this great oil! I've used it in many blends for clients, family, and myself! It has helped heal many types of infections, skin abnormalities, and most recently a bite from a Brown Recluse! Of course this was in a EO blend and not alone, but it is still a powerful oil by itself! Not to mention the fact that it smells heavenly! Highly Recommend this being in everyone's cabinet!
