Divine oil

Frankincense is the resin of Bosvellia tree which grows in North Africa, the Middle East and some parts of Asia. Frankincense oil is made by water distillation of dry resin. Aromatic frankincense resin has been well known for over 5000 years. It was initially used for smoking in religious ceremonies of ancient people.  Even Hippocrates recommended chewing of frankincense with honey to fight cough and lung diseases. Arab physicians used the frankincense to stop bleeding from wounds and to heal wounds.  Frankincense is found in the tomb of Tutankhamen and is also mentioned in the story about the birth of Jesus Christ, as a gift from one of the wise men who came to see the born saviour. One of the Egyptian Queen Cleopatra’s beauty secrets was exactly the frankincense oil thanks to which her face looked eternally young and immortal. Since it is not possible to raise because it grows only on its own habitat, frankincense is very valuable nowadays as well. That explains the fact that frankincense was once worth as much as gold.
