Frankincense Essential Oil

Frankincense essential oil comes from the resin of the Boswellia tree, which grows in India, the Middle East and Africa — in Ayurveda the Indian species is known as shallaki. It is spicy, slightly woody and fresh.

Ayurveda holds that fragrance — gandha — touches the mind, and that different scents bring different doshas back into balance.
