Frankincense What?

11/28/2018

Whenever I go to websites that sell essential oils or even blogs where they talk about oils, I always see the title as Frankincense Oil.  Buy our Frankincense Oil or Lets talk about Frankincense.. The wise men gave Jesus Frankincense, we see this everywhere.   It is wonderful, delightful bla bla bla.   What the heck is it? Which frankincense did the baby get?  is it Carterii, Sacra, Serrata, Frereana, Neglecta,  WHAT!  Actually for baby Jesus it is believed he was given Sacra since it comes from Oman which is closer to where Mary gave birth.  But for the rest of these sites, it is not a guessing game and we cannot read your minds on  which Frankincense you are talking about.

There are 18 species of Frankincense Trees.  You cannot just say Frankincense.  You can say "Frankenstein", there was only one of him. You need to understand also each one has different therapeutic properties and also different chemical makeups.  You can go back to my Frankincense page and read each one, I have a bunch on there and you can download the Frankincense Resins PDF that has all 18 of them there.
​So please if you see it written anywhere as just Frankincense- tell the person or persons WHICH ONE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

thank you for bringing up this point as I think most people are very ignorant of the fact that there are multiple varieties of frankincense essential oil and that the details matter.
