Frankincense Liquid Extract

Description

Frankincense (Boswellia serrata) is native to much of India and the Punjab region which extends into Pakistan.  It is probably best known for its mention in the bible’s Nativity story as well as its many practical uses, recognized for a millennia.

Frankincense oil is considered a tonic because it benefits so many of the body’s systems in a general way, including the digestive, respiratory, nervous and excretory systems.  It also aids the absorption of nutrients and strengthens your immune system.

Frankincense is derived from the resin of a tree called “Boswellia.”  In Hebrew, its name is levonah, meaning, “white.”  In Arabic, it is al-luban, a term referring to milk; the name of the modern country of Lebanon is derived from both.  However, it came to be known as “Frankincense” when crusaders, many of whom were French or “Frankish”, introduced it to Europe during the Middle Ages.  Dried Frankincense is used in numerous ways, including the manufacture of perfume and aromatherapy; ancient Egyptians used burnt powdered frankincense as eyeliner; the world’s major religions use it in rites and rituals.

Tinctures can also be administered directly into the mouth without the assistance of water however some tinctures are unpalatable which is why most people prefer to dilute them into a beverage.

Warning:

In some rare cases, frankincense can cause skin rashes, gastrointestinal distress, such as nausea, stomach pain and hyperacidity.  It also has blood-thinning effects, and may increase the risk of abnormal bleeding in people with a bleeding disorder or taking anticoagulant medications.  Frankincense extract is not recommended for pregnant women and nursing moms, as it acts as an emenagogue and may induce menstruation, which may be dangerous for an unborn fetus.
