Uses

For best results, add 2 drops of each Lavender and Helichrysum.
Egyptians revered Frankincense, using it as part of their sacred embalming and mummifying rituals. Golden Jars were filled with Frankincense resin and placed in tombs, as the Egyptians believed they could take the powerful oil with them into the next world. While a lot has changed since the time of ancient Egypt, Frankincense’s incredible healing and anti-aging power has not.
