Frankincense Neglecta Oleo Extract

Frankincense Neglecta Oleo Extract is something I originally made as a cough/cold and decongestant chest rub. Still, experience has taught me it has other unexpected and powerful effects on our bodies and minds.

Frequently asked questions

Some questions and answers are automatically generated.

What does the scent smell like?
Reviewers consistently praise the scent as beautiful, uplifting, and comforting. Many describe it as crisp, fresh, and earthy with warm, sweet notes—distinctly different from other frankincense varieties, with some noting it has a more masculine quality. The fragrance is frequently called a favorite and is said to provide mental comfort simply from smelling it.
Does it help with anxiety or stress?
Many reviewers report that applying the oil noticeably calms anxiety and helps with feelings of stress, heaviness, and tightness in the chest. Customers note it promotes relaxation and a sense of calm when rubbed on the chest or neck. Multiple reviewers mention using it regularly for emotional balance and stress relief.
Can you use it as a chest rub?
Yes. Reviewers confirm it works well as a chest rub for respiratory support, with one customer noting it is superior to traditional mentholated products for colds and congestion. The product description notes it was originally made for this purpose and suggests a half-minute of chest massage is most effective.
Does it absorb well into skin?
Reviewers report the oil absorbs very well and goes on easily. Several mention using just a small dab on their hands, rubbing it into the skin, and finding it effective as a facial balm, aftershave, or general skin moisturizer without a greasy feel.
Is it good for sleep and relaxation?
Multiple customers report using it in the evening to support relaxation and restful sleep, describing it as very comforting and soothing. Several mention feeling calmed and peaceful after application, making it a favorite for bedtime use.
What are the ingredients?
According to the product description, it contains fresh Frankincense Neglecta oleo resin, Frankincense Neglecta essential oil, and fractionated coconut oil. No color, fragrance, or preservatives are added. The resin is ethically harvested by the Samburu tribe in Northern Kenya.
How long does the scent linger?
One reviewer notes that the wonderful neglecta scent lingers on the nose for a noticeable time after application. The scent is strong enough that customers mention smelling it throughout the day after use.
Can you use it on your face?
Yes. Several reviewers mention using it as a facial balm or facial moisturizer. One customer notes it helps skin health and keeping skin young, and others report applying it while massaging the sinuses and facial areas without issue.
Is it suitable for daily use?
Multiple reviewers report using it every single day without issue. One customer notes they cannot be without it and use it daily as part of their routine, suggesting it is safe and gentle for regular application.
Does the product come with a pump?
One reviewer notes that the product does not come with a pump as shown in older pictures, and found it difficult to get out of the bottle. The merchant appears willing to add a roller top upon request for easier application.
ThoughFrankincense Neglecta Oleo Extract 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 the 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 deep and restful sleep.

I experience these effects when rubbing Frankincense Neglecta Oleo Extract 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. I can confidently say 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.

Frankincense Neglecta Oleo Extract 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, 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 Frankincense Neglecta Oleo Extract 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.

Beautiful! Beautiful!

Beautiful fragrance. Simultaneously uplifting and comforting. Keeps my spirit calm. I accidentally bought two, and I'm so very glad I did. Now I keep one at home and carry one with me. Yet another favourite. Thank you.

Wonderful oleo extract.

The fragrance is amazing. This oleo extract has been working quite well for me. I usually apply it on my neck and on my face while massaging my sinuses and lymph nodes. Consistency is key and we should always keep in mind to nurture our bodies properly so wonderful products like this can fully do their work.

Much love to everyone.

comfort and pain relief

I got this for my mom while she had been in the hospital for several months with GBS (and pneumonia with lingering respiratory issues). I thought she could use something uplifting that she could apply whenever she wanted. Dan was very accommodating in including a roller top I could put on the bottle for her. Since she was regaining her coordination I didn't want something that could spill. A really special Oleo.

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.
