How to Use Frankincense

Frankincense is a versatile resin that can be used in various ways. Here are some common methods for incorporating Golden Brown Hojari Omani Frankincense into your daily practices:

As Incense

Frankincense has been used for centuries to purify the air and create a calming atmosphere. Here’s how to burn it:

• Incense Burner with Charcoal: Place a few pieces of frankincense resin on a hot charcoal disc in an incense burner. Light the charcoal and allow it to burn until glowing. The frankincense will release a fragrant smoke that promotes relaxation and spiritual focus.
• Electric Burners or Diffusers: Use an electric diffuser designed for resins. Add a small amount of frankincense, and let it diffuse its aroma to purify your surroundings and create a soothing ambiance.

Adding Frankincense to Water

Frankincense can be added to water for a subtle, aromatic experience:

• Aromatherapy Diffusers: Drop a few pieces of frankincense into a water-filled diffuser. The gentle heat will release the resin's benefits, filling the room with its calming scent and purifying the air.
• Hot Water Infusion: Steep the frankincense in hot water for 5-10 minutes. You can then use the infused water as a natural room spray or mist to clear the air and promote relaxation.

In Skin Care

Frankincense has long been revered for its skin-enhancing properties. Here’s how to incorporate it into your beauty routine:

• Face Mask: Grind frankincense into a fine powder and mix it with a carrier oil (like coconut oil) to create a nourishing face mask. Apply to your face for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off for rejuvenated, glowing skin.
• Toner: Boil water and steep a few pieces of frankincense in it. After the water cools, use it as a natural toner to reduce blemishes and promote youthful skin.
• Essential Oil: Dilute frankincense essential oil with a carrier oil and apply it directly to your skin for its anti-aging and healing benefits.
