Tears with Healing Power!

The "tears" that flow from these small, scraggly trees have been traded for over 5,000 years and are known to treat a variety of illnesses.  The Boswellia carteri trees are indigenous to the Middle East.  It's resin, a milky-white liquid that flows from the trunk when cut, is steam distilled to produce the essential oil known as Frankincense. 

The medical properties of Frankincense Essential Oil are recorded to be anti-tumoral, immune stimulating, muscle relaxing, anti-inflammatory, and anti-depressant.  A 2009 study reported that "Frankincense oil appears to distinguish cancerous from normal bladder cells and suppress cancer cell viability."*

Aura Organic Spa + Wellness uses Frankincense Essential Oil in many of our services:  Balancing Massage, Immune Booster Massage, and Pumpkin Spice Massage.  Frankincense is also specially blended into many of our facial products.
