Actions include: anti-inflammatory, expectorant, diuretic, analgesic, antibiotic, antifungal, anti-arthritic. Frankincense has a pleasant, sweet and woody odour. The powder comes from the hardened oleo resin of the Boswellia tree, and is frequently used in perfumes, incense, insect repellent and medicine. Can be used topically to heal wounds.
