Frankincense Carterii is one of a handful of Frankincense types that contain Boswellic acids. These resin acids are the compounds that have been shown in studies to be anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer. These findings support its use in traditional medicine for inflammation, respiratory, muscle and joint and gastrointestinal issues. Frankincense Carterii has also been shown to add elasticity to skin and has been used in cosmetics formulas. It is important to note that it is the resin part of Frankincense that contains the Boswellic acids, not the essential oils. Adding essential oil of Frankincense Carterii will not deliver its full therapeutic value. For this reason, it is much more advantageous to understand how to use the resin in products.

Frankincense Carterii resin can be used as a base for therapeutic and cosmetic cremes, salves, balms and medicated oils. For instructions on how to make your own Frankincense oil-extracts and other products please visit my blog here https://apothecarysgarden.com/blogs/blog

It is lovely burned in a censer alone or ground and blended with other aromatics.

Please note, our "Ounces" are not 25 grams as with most sellers, (a standard Ounce is actually 28.3 Grams), they are 30 Grams and my helpers are instructed ALWAYS to add more and NEVER less to each bag of resin. If you weigh the item you purchased, you will confirm this.

Materials: Boswellia Carterii, Frankincense Carterii.

Frankincense Caterii

Look no further than Dan for the best of the best. I will never buy from any other seller. He takes his craft and business very seriously but it is much much more than that. What he does is a living, breathing meditation of at-one-ness within himself and nature that is just as rare in this world as the Frankincense that he procures. He is a generous, kind and loving soul who's spirit of care becomes imbued in all of his product. The quality of his care and harmonization with life is a constituent of healing as much as the innate properties of the resins and products he represents. His ethics are blessings to all!

Frankincense has great energy

Frankincense has great energy; it vibrates slightly when you hold it, a very healing frequency. However, it is quite expensive. If I buy it later, will there be a discount?

Favorite Frankincense

Cleansing, healing and purifying. This perfume on its own is uplifting and refreshing. A “chasing” aroma.

Excited!

I was so excited when my package arrived. After reading all of the information Dan so generously provides on his website, I knew the Carterii was what I was looking for to add to my skin care products. The day after it arrived I began infusing oils. Thank Dan for a great product and sharing your knowledge. I will definitely be ordering more. ❤️

My Fave

Cartarii is my ultimate fave resin. I just had to pop a small piece right into my coffee (then eat when coffee's done).
Will be working this into Healing Salve and Perfume Oil.
Thanks again Dan, your Labor of Love impacts more than you know...the ripples go far.
Always fresh and speedy delivery.
