FRANKINCENSE
Boswelia neglecta
From the resin of the Olibanum tree, Frankincense was used in ancient times as a deodoriser due to its deep, musky scent and is important in the contemporary perfumery world for its evocative scent.
There are a thousand amazing uses and benefits of this timeless wonder, but one of our favourites at Made for Life is its strength against aging.
It is a cytophylactic, meaning that it keeps the skin cells and tissue young, healthy, tight and toned.
Another brilliant attribute of frankincense is its mental intrigue – it induces a feeling of mental peace, relaxation and spirituality.
A sense of inner calm and settling helps to lower anxiety and apparetly allows for heightened insight. A mindful moment must.
