Liquid Gold

Frankincense is the one essential oil I would not go without. They say, when in doubt, use Frankincense. Known as liquid gold and  perhaps the most precious of the essential oils, frankincense is an ancient oil used by the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans and highly sought after by even today for its many uses, including relaxation, immune support, and mood enhancement.

The History

When King Tut’s tomb was opened in 1922, alabaster jars for holding Frankincense oil were discovered. The Egyptians practically bathed in it to stay looking young. And we all know the story of how the three wise men brought is as a gift for baby Jesus. And Hippocrates, the “Father of Medicine,” used it to halt a devastating plague in ancient Greece

 

It’s Flavor

It has a divine, rich, woody, and slightly astringent fragrance with hints of honey and citrus.
