Frankincense is known in aromatherapy as an analgesic, anti-depressant, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, astringent, diuretic, and sedative. It is still widely used in religious ceremonies and is renowned for its ability to stimulate the immune system. Emotionally, it is uplifting and relaxing whether applied to the skin or diffused into the air. It is used on the skin to regenerate and nourish, treat scar tissue and dry aging skin. As a gift, Frankincense would be given as a wish for long life and good health.
