Frankincense<\/h1>\n

Origin and background<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n
\n

Frankincense essential oil is extracted from the tree Boswellia carterii<\/em> by steam distillation of its resin. It is also known as olibanum. The word frankincense<\/em> comes from an Old French expression franc encens<\/i>, which means high quality incense. Old French word franc<\/em> means noble or pure.<\/p>\n

Frankincense has been used and valued since ancient times for its medicinal, cosmetic, aromatic, and spiritual properties. It is also known from the biblical stories that the frankincense, myrrh, and gold were gifts to the baby Jesus from the three wise kings. At that time, these three gifts were very highly priced.<\/p>\n

Incense resin has been traded in the Arabian Peninsula for over 6,000 years.<\/p>\n

Frankincense resin was brought to Western Europe by the crusaders from one of their expeditions to the Eastern Roman Empire, where it was widely used in church services.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
