Description
I originally made this oil as a cough/cold and decongestant chest rub, but experience has taught me it has other unexpected, and powerful effects on our bodies and minds.
Though Frankincense Neglecta oil does work as a decongestant when rubbed on the chest, it has shown consistent and striking results for me and customers when used to address the symptoms of anxiety, panic, heaviness and tightness of the chest due to stress. All this through external application of the oil.
Like the Frankincense Sacra/Carterii we are accustomed to, Frankincense Neglecta from Ethiopia and Kenya is traditionally used as incense, medicine and a source of fragrant essential oil for perfume and aromatherapy.
In common with the rest of the Frankincense family, Frankincense, or Boswellia Neglecta is ruled by the Sun and has a strong affinity with the heart and chest, physically, emotionally and on an energetic level. Like the Sun, all types of frankincense are warming, anti-inflammatory, expand and brighten the perspective, and promote heightened feelings of spirituality and wellbeing.
From an aromatic point of view, Boswellia Neglecta has the warm, sweet notes of Frankincense, and the uplifting freshness of sweet Balsam Fir trees.
As the other Frankincense types, it helps calm the mind and is conducive to meditation, clarity of thought and spiritual pursuits. After 2 years of using an oil extract of this oleoresin and sharing it with friends and customers, I can say it consistently reduces my feelings of anxiety and panic, eases my breath, lifting feelings of tightness and heaviness of the chest from stress.
I find it helps promote a feeling of calm, to mind, body and heart, and supports a deep and restful sleep.
All these effects are experienced through rubbing this oil on the chest. A good half minute spent in this type of self-massage seems most effective. Whether this is due in part to performing a conscious act of self-care, or because the rubbing motion stimulates blood flow and carries the active phytochemicals more quickly through the body, or both, I can’t say. What I can say with certainty is that it works for me and many who have tried it so far.
I hypothesize the effect is caused by the action of Incensole and Incensole acetate carried through the bloodstream and crossing the blood-brain barrier. Research to date on the chemical composition of Boswellia Neglecta is conflicted. Some studies show it has little Incensole content, other studies show it has a very high content of these compounds.
This extract/infusion is produced using Fractionated Coconut oil and Frankincense neglecta collected by the women of the Samburu tribe in Northern Kenya. No colour, fragrance or preservatives are added.
It is an “Astrodynamic” preparation, processed in accordance with traditions and tenets of medical astrology and plant alchemy.
I believe that each herb, if properly processed, should be expected to perform and excel on its own.
This is an extract of the whole oleoresin and not only the essential oil. The resin portion of the sap contains its own set of therapeutic phytochemicals which are lost in the distillation process, and work in tandem with the essential oils.
If you would like to make your own extract of Frankincense Neglecta at home, you will find a simple and easy recipe on my blog at http://apothecarysgarden.com/2013/10/09/frankincense-oil-cough-cold-chest-rub-recipe/
You will also find a supply of fresh, fairtrade, co-op harvested Frankincense Neglecta for sale in this store.
Whether you make your own or buy my special preparation, I believe Frankincense Neglecta extract is something many of us in the western world could benefit from.

First, I want to say, I received my whole order on the 13th of May, having placed the order on May 4th. That is INCREDIBLY QUICK from Canada to the Deep South, USA.
Of course, all conversations with DAN, are so informative
and helpful, you know you are dealing with a Master-Craftsman: he is talking to YOU. The sharing is gracious and always courteous. His products inform and fulfill that guidance.
I am never disappointed!
I am always helped!
Do not let his treasure of knowledge pass you by.
There is no better help: this is
proven, by Millennia of use.
I am so grateful to know where to access this wisdom.
Most highly praised, RhuEtta Scott Rullan

A truly amazing thing! I purchased this for a friend who has severe tinnitus. She applies it daily behind her ear on the mastoid bone and said it is the only thing that lowers the constant inner ear noise from 95 down to 5 or less. I use this on my upper chest and sternum before Skype meetings with my boss and am always rewarded with calmness and ease of breathing. I've never met Dan nor had more than business correspondence with him, but he and his wares are bright healers in my life.

I've got the products on June 14 actually. This oil was used as skin care and for health care of the chest. It makes me calm down and feel peaceful. And as skin care I must say, a perfect product to help you stay young.

This has such a familiar scent but I can't put my hand on it. This is a very special species of Frankincense. It absorbs very well into the skin and it's completely true to the effects Dan describes in his articles. This is my go-to for Anxiety/stress. Only thing I can compare it to right now is like holding Auralite 23; it's very special. Makes you smile when you walk past it and see it on your shelf.

I have not received this item. The reason given -COVID fiasco. I guess I should have reconsidered before I hit order. I also order another product from Canada and have gotten it no problem. This is my first time with this company. We'll see how Etsy deals with it.

Tried the small bottle, loved it, and had to get the 30ml! I use it as an aftershave and facial balm. The neglecta scent is so crisp and refreshing. A very masculine version of a frankincense, IMO. This stuff is top notch quality, as are all the items in this shop.

I cannot convey just how much I love the smell of this species. Smelling this provides so much mental comfort for me. Also, this is amazing for quelling a cough from a cold or other respiratory ailments. I made my own for family members and myself, but ran out. Far superior than that other smelly stuff (that will not be named) people put on their chests for a cold. Super fast shipping.

This is a really great smelling oleo extract. I love the crisp earthiness of the neglecta that comes through here. I haven't used it as a chest rub yet (waiting until I have a cold with chest congestion), but it also works really well as an aftershave and skin moisturizer. Just a little dab on the hands, rub into the skin, and you're set. And you get that wonderful neglecta smell that hits your nose for a while afterwards. Apothecary's Garden consistently produces some of the best natural healthcare products I've come across!
