Frankincense is an aromatic resin from the boswellia tree. It is one of the most famous and oldest fragrances known to man, and was one of the three gifts supposedly given to Jesus on his birth.
The resin can be bought and burned directly on charcoal. It is a beautiful, sensual and evocative scent. It is also used in making incense. Sometimes it is a direct ingredient - added ground up as a masala, other times it is made into an essential oil. Sometimes the scent is created artificially. It is frequently blended with myrrh.

It has been used as medicine for thousands of years, and recent studies have confirmed that frankincense does have healing and cleansing properties. It is known to aid relaxation and reduce stress, though studies are still unsure about how this is achieved.
