Exclusively grown in Oman, Sacred Frankincense Essential Oil is hydro-distilled exclusively for us in glass alembics from the sap of an ancient species of frankincense trees in the southern Dhofar region. This area of the world has been revered since classical times for having the finest quality frankincense in all the world and is the only place on earth where this type of frankincense grows. While all frankincense is sacred, Frankincense sacra is distilled from groves with a five-thousand-year history, and this species of Frankincense is considered more precious and more spiritually significant than any other form. It is said to resonate at a high vibrational frequency, making it the optimum choice for meditation and prayer. Sacred Frankincense is gorgeously grounding and quintessentially calming, and is said to be the species of frankincense gifted by the three wise men.

Because it only grows in one part of the world, traders would travel thousands of miles to obtain the precious resin of Boswellia sacra, which at one point in history was considered more valuable than gold. Even today in Oman, having sacred frankincense growing on your land is a sign that one is blessed and fortunate.

Recently the government of Oman opened up their Frankincense reserves to the rest of the world for distillation. The essential oil captured from these Arabian trees is a direct descendent of the frankincense oil mentioned throughout ancient texts.

The sacred nature of this species of Frankincense makes it the perfect attendant for spiritual work. It is said to enhance the separation between ego and spirit, allowing the ego to be released and the spirit to be more full-bodied. Sacred Frankincense dissipates insecurity and enhances self-esteem. It facilitates centeredness during meditation, yoga, and spiritual study.

Frankincense Sacra has perfectly positive implications for skincare and is often used on mature skin for extra emolliency and to smooth out scars, fine lines, and skin tone.
