History: 

Frankincense is an ancient and fabled aromatic tree resin, its use as a fragrant perfume reported from a multitude of historical sources at least as early as 1500 BC. Frankincense consists of the dried resin from the frankincense tree, and it is one of the most common and sought-after of aromatic tree resins in the world even today.

Frankincense resin was used in the past for a variety purposes, and many of those are still used today. Its perhaps best-known use is to create a permeating scent by burning crystalized pieces during rites of passages such as weddings, childbirth, and funerals. The incense is and was used to smooth and oil hair and sweeten the breath; soot from the incense burners is and was used for eye makeup and tattoos.

Fun Facts About Lavender Essential Oil: 

• Guardian Dragon: According to ancient legends, the land where Boswellia trees grew was protected by dragons. Frankincense was more valuable than gold in those days. Greek writer Herodotus (5th century B.C.) wrote that Arabia’s trees were ‘guarded by winged serpents of small size and various colors.’
• Skin care: Frankincense oil is fantastic for skin care, particularly if you have oily skin. It’s an excellent moisturizer and reduces the appearance of fine lines. As with all essential oils, you should combine it with a carrier oil.

Pets: 

Using essential oils on pets: 

The ability to tolerate essential oils is dependent on many factors, including plant species, product, dose, and route of application. Essential oil use cases show the most significant risk of toxicity is from direct skin application on your pet’s skin – these same cases also share that a large volume was applied directly and neat (pure without a carrier) to the pet’s skin. Knowing that there is a risk in using these oils to your pet’s fur or skin, we strongly recommend consultation with your veterinarian or animal care specialist prior to applying or exposure to any of our products.

If you’ve chosen to use essential oils around your pet, we first recommend taking note of your pets behavior, contacting your vet with any concerns, and the below list of R?t products that we feel are the most pet-friendly:

Single note essential oils:

• Chamomile
• Frankincense
• Clary Sage
• Geranium
• Rosemary

Should you choose to use your ultrasonic diffuser in the presence of your pet, we recommend:

• Using only small amounts of essential oils. 1-5 drops are our recommendation
• Ensure the space is well ventilated with a window open slightly for fresh air
• Always keep a door open so that the animal can enter and exit the room easily
• Take note of how your pet responds at all times and if you notice your pet resisting an aroma, discontinue use and move them to a well-ventilated space
• Be particularly mindful of pets that are in cages or enclosed spaces (including birds and small rodents) as they cannot leave the room if they become uncomfortable
