In Chinese Medicine: Frankincense is a woody-pungent oil used to tonify the Qi and warm the Lung. Its gathering, sinking course of movement is what allows a resin oil to consolidate rather than disperse — the quality that has kept it in ritual and clinical use for millennia.

This is a very high quality frankincense oil. And it’s boswellia carterii, which is the best variety of the essential oil. Recommended.
This Frankincense is high quality. The aroma and potency comes through clearly. By far my favorite.
I love this Frankincense but the bottles are too small. Please, offer larger bottles (10 ml) roll on.
Awesome product. Helps with my back pain. Quick delivery. ☺️
All their oils are very good quality. The smell stays for a long time. More than a day and you don’t even need a full drop. No stains Snow Lotus products are extremely good quality product.
This frankincense is the real deal! The smell is pure and works wonders on my patients who have pain or numbness. It gets the blood circulating and smells amazing as well.
Frankincense oil with tea tree and lemon oil works like magic on poison ivy – no more itching.
Arrived promptly. Lovely aroma. Thank you.
I have been using what used to be a top rated therapeutic oil for 20 years but I'm truly loving the high grade quality oil that you carry.
