How to use it safely
- For scenting: in a diffuser the warm resin scent comes into its own.
- Dilute on the skin: never neat, always in a base oil, for example for a calm massage.
- Not for babies and toddlers: and in pregnancy only after professional advice.
- Keep away from pets: essential oils are problematic for cats.
Said honestly
Frankincense oil is a wonderful scent for calm and meditation and has a long cultural history. The many health promises online, however, go far beyond what is proven, and we make no healing promises. Used diluted as a scent oil it is a lovely companion. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
