Frankincense serrata has held a venerable position at the heart of Ayurvedic medicine for thousands upon thousands of years. The Indian frankincense, offers a direct ancestral connection with the sacred-saps of Ancient India. It has been said that this particular species of frankincense was the one mentioned throughout the Bible and adored for its sanctifying scent. Frankincense serrata may be used to anoint the body during prayer and meditation, as is commonly done with Somalian frankincense, but its primary benefits are medicinal in nature.

Living Libations Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil is hydro-distilled and wild harvested from the sap of Indian frankincense trees. Also known as Indian Frankincense, this sacred elixir sings with an airiness light years away from our Somalian frankincense. Where our traditional frankincense is rich and profound, serrate is light and complex. It dances with middle notes of citrus and floral while offering a myriad of medicinal benefits for the skin and body. Like Boswellia carterii, Boswellia serrata is a wonderful anti-inflammatory and sacred spiritual agent.

Where Boswellia carterii is effective at releasing spiritual blockages and sanctifying the skin, frankincense serrata is particularly suited to treating conditions caused by inflammation. Indian frankincense is a wonderful anti-inflammatory, which makes has been traditionally used for treatment of Rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn's disease. Joint pain, tendonitis, asthma, menstrual cramps, osteoarthritis and rheumatism are all commonly treated with this sacred oil.

The soil and growing conditions in India make our frankincense serrata deliciously unique. Where Somalian frankincense is rich and heavy-scented, frankincense serrata is lighter and more complex. Notes of citrus and delicate florals dance upon the midnote, opening up a world of blending possibilities.

Living Libations Frankincense Serrata is an inspiration, an incantation, an unparalleled powerhouse against inflammation!
