The Timeless Tale of Frankincense: A Scent That Transcends Time
Frankincense has been a part of human history for ages. Its smoky, lemony scent has been used in religious rituals, trade, and even skincare. It’s like a bridge that connects us to ancient times, reminding us of the spiritual and physical benefits it offers. The scent of Frankincense has been a part of various civilizations, from religious ceremonies to trade routes. It’s a scent that has woven itself into the fabric of human history.
The Importance of Terroir: Where the Frankincense Grows Matters
Just like wine, the environment where the Frankincense tree grows affects the oil’s characteristics. Factors like soil, climate, and even nearby plants can influence the oil’s aroma and benefits. The unique geography from the Horn of Africa to Southern India provides a diverse range of Frankincense types, each with its distinct aroma and benefits.
