Frankincense Carterii Essential Oil
Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil is also spelt Frankincense Carterii Essential Oil
Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil has been used, throughout the ages, to clear our minds and purify our thoughts. It is used in devotional and anointing practices by a number of spiritual / religious orders.
The meaning of the word Frankincense translates as true incense.
Although a potent aromatherapy oil, Frankincense Carterii Essential Oil is one of the safest essential oils there is. Thought to enhance mental focus and improve endurance, it is used by the Catholic Church and by Buddhists for devotional, and meditative purposes.
Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil is particularly popular for meditational purposes as it is thought to focus the mind.
However, there is an increasing body of medical literature supporting its many and varied medicinal benefits.
Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil Health Benefits
Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil is thought to be one of the most effective essential oils for autoimmune conditions. This is because it is considered profoundly anti-inflammatory and soothing.
It has been used to provide symptomatic relief in all manner of inflammatory conditions from neural and autoimmune afflictions, like Alzheimer’s to body-wide conditions like Arthritis. It has also proven highly beneficial for digestive issues, such as Ulcerative Colitis.
For the treatment of diseases, especially chronic diseases, traditional natural drugs have more effective therapeutic advantages because of their multi-target and multi-channel characteristics. Among many traditional natural medicines, resins frankincense and myrrh have been proven to be effective in the treatment of inflammation and cancer.

Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil In Wild As The Wind Products
Organic Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil makes its most notable appearance in FACIAL OIL No. 2, which is the most popular Wild As The Wind product.
It is also used in FACIAL OIL No. 8, another enormously popular Wild As The Wind product.
Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil is not, however, used in Frankincense & St. John’s Wort Preparation. It is a differing form of Frankincense, with even more anti-inflammatory benefit, which is used in this product. This alternative Frankincense aromatherapy oil is variously known as Frankincense Serata Essential Oil or Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil, and even Indian Frankincense Essential Oil.
It is also this version of Frankincense which accompanies Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil in the most popular Wild As The Wind Body & Bath Oil. However, Frankincense Serata Essential Oil also appears in other Body & Bath Oils by Wild As The Wind due to its superb anti-inflammatory capabilities.
Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil Aroma
Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil has a deeply pleasing and relaxing aroma, and is a favourite of many.
Made from the resin of the Boswellia Tree, Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil has an unmistakable prevailing woodsy aroma. But it is also very fragrant, and complex… slightly musky, with caramel and pine forest overtones.
Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil is used aromatically by a number of religious orders, including: the Catholic Church and Buddhist Orders, and subsequently, many Catholic Churches carry a faint whiff of Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil.
Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil Alternatives
One of the best alternatives to Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil is a little known aromatherapy oil called Iary Essential Oil.
Iary Essential Oil is thought to be very anti-inflammatory in the same way that Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil is, but it is also considered to be profoundly anti-wrinkle and anti-ageing, making it one of the best alternatives for Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil there is.
Iary Essential Oil is the more affordable alternative.
Elemi Essential Oil is another lesser known alternative, which is also more affordable.
Yarrow Essential Oil is another great option. As with many Wild As The Wind aromatherapy oils, several options are available.
For example, there are three Yarrow Essential Oil alternatives:
- Ethically Sourced Yarrow Essential Oil
- Organic Yarrow Essential Oil
- Wildcrafted Organic Yarrow Essential Oil
Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil has been used historically to treat Gout, but Lemongrass Essential Oil and Yarrow Essential Oil are perhaps even better known for this?
As well as the Ethically Sourced Lemongrass Essential Oil, Wild As The Wind also stock an Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil
Wild As The Wind also carry several different Frankincense Essential Oils, including:
- Organic Frankincense Carterii Essential Oil
- Frankincense Serata Essential Oil

I have used a number of frankincense oils over the years but none have come anywhere near this wonderful frankincense carterii essential oil, it smells divine. Thank you Rachel for producing such a super product and also upgrading the postage to 1st class to try and get it to me in time for Christmas..X
Angie Bewick (verified owner) –
I recently ordered a few different oils and Rachel kindly upgraded one of them to the wildcraft version. This is the nicest Frankincense oil I have used, I add it to nearly all of my blends and no awful synthetic smells like you get from some oils. Very high quality.
