Sacred Frankincense

Sacred Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) is exclusive to Young Living.
Young Living has been the first and is still the only cultivator of Omani Frankincense outside of the privileged citizens of Oman or Saudi royalty. It is one of the rarest and most sought after aromatics. D. Gary Young researched and had numerous trips to Oman over a 15 year period and was the first and is still the only granted permission to export this precious oil.
A distillery was built right in Oman so that this exportation could take place. Omani Frankincense is believed to be the Frankincense used in ancient times and biblical times. It is believed this is the variety that was taken to our precious Christ-child. Sacred Frankincense has been the subject to much study and research and has proven to be very supportive. (Do your own research,)

Sacred Frankincense is beneficial in supporting the immune system. When the immune system is strong, it is tougher for illness to sneak in. Sacred frankincense is highly supportive of cellular health. This oil also contains boswellic acids which are thought to be helpful with supporting the bones and muscles. Frankincense is a favorite of mine for skin support as well. It is supportive to all skin types, but especially soothing to aging skin with fine lines and wrinkles.  Frankincense is supportive of the digestive system and respiratory system too. Frankincense has calming properties that can help with mood balancing. While Sacred Frankincense is both calming and relaxing  it can promote a higher level of meditation and spiritual awareness.
