Thought to enhance mental focus and improve endurance, Frankincense Essential Oil is used by the Catholic Church and by Buddhists for devotional, meditative purposes.
Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil is also spelt Frankincense Serata Essential Oil. Additionally, it is known as Indian Frankincense Essential Oil owing to its use, throughout the ages, within the Southern Indian healing tradition, Ayurveda.

However, all Frankincense Essential Oils possess very similar healing abilities, although certain varieties excel in specific areas.

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.

On a recent mini break around the Bath area I was suffering from a bad migraine which I just could not get a handle on. Luckily we came across Wells Market. [where ] I met Rachel. When I approached her I was really unwell. The pain was as severe as I ever experienced. Thankfully Rachel got me to inhale Frankincense [Essential Oil]. Within a few minutes I was pain free and ready to enjoy the remainder of my trip. I am so grateful to Rachel and her extreme knowledge of aromatherapy and its benefits. I look forward to purchasing more products in the future. Thank you Rachel. Love & Light Laura
Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil For Skincare
Like Frankincense Carterii Essential Oil, Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil is thought to reduce wrinkles and the appearance of sun damage, including sun spots, (aka liver spots).
Needless to say, Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil has found its way into many anti-ageing, and anti-wrinkle facial oils & creams.
Frankincense Serata Essential Oil For Oil Pulling
Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil has also been traditionally used for ‘oil pulling’ to ensure optimal oral health. (A full description can be found in Morning Detox Protocols.)
The boswellic acids in Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil provide antibacterial benefits, which may help to prevent and treat oral infections, and the act of ‘oil pulling’ is thought to be profoundly detoxifying.
Two other great alternative aromatherapy oils for this purpose are Gurjum Essential Oil and Copaiba Essential Oil. The most affordable option amongst these oils is Gurjum Essential Oil, which is also known as Gurjun Essential Oil.
Cautions & Contraindications
Although a potent aromatherapy oil with profound anti-inflammatory properties, Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil is one of the safest essential oils there is.
Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young state there are no known hazards for Frankincense Serrat Essential Oil.
They do, however, caution that Frankincense Serata Essential Oil should not be used if it is oxidised, (exposed to excessive sunlight and air).
Always dilute aromatherapy oils before topical application. Please consult How To Use Essential Oils for more information on how to use aromatherapy oils, and how to blend them.

Frankincense Serata Essential Oil Aroma

Made from the resin of the Boswellia Tree, Frankincense Serata Essential Oil has an unmistakable woody aroma, which is cleaner, and less perfumy than Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil.
Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil In Wild As The Wind Products
It is Organic Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil, rather than Frankincense Serata Essential Oil, which is used in FACIAL OIL No. 2.
FACIAL OIL No. 2 is the Wild As The Wind top selling product.
Organic Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil is also used in FACIAL OIL No. 8, another enormously popular Wild As The Wind product.
Frankincense Serata Essential Oil is, however, used in Frankincense & St. John’s Wort Preparation, owing to it’s exceptional anti-inflammatory benefits.
It is also Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil which accompanies Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil in the most popular Wild As The Wind Body & Bath Oil, although Frankincense Serata Essential Oil also appears in other Body & Bath Oils by Wild As The Wind, due to it’s superb anti-inflammatory capabilities.
Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil Alternatives
One of the best alternatives to Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil is the little known aromatherapy oil, Iary Essential Oil.
Iary Essential Oil is thought to be very anti-inflammatory, making it similar in this respect, but because it is also considered profoundly anti-wrinkle and anti-ageing, this makes it one of the best alternative aromatherapy oils for Frankincense Carteri Essential Oil.
Iary Essential Oil is the more affordable alternative.
Elemi Essential Oil is another lesser known alternative, which is also more affordable.
Cistus Essential Oil is a little more pricey, but is another great alternative to Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil on all counts. Aromatically, Cistus Essential Oil is exceptional, leaving some happy to pay slightly more due to their personal aromatic preference.
Yarrow Essential Oil is another great option.
As with many Wild As The Wind aromatherapy oils, several options are available. There are three alternatives where Yarrow Essential Oil is concerned:
- Ethically Sourced Yarrow Essential Oil
- Organic Yarrow Essential Oil
- Wildcrafted Organic Yarrow Essential Oil
There is also an Organic Cistus Essential Oil.
Frankincense Serata 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
Lastly, the ever popular Cananga Essential Oil and Copaiba Essential Oil also make great alternatives to Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil, and are slightly more affordable.

I was looking for a good quality frankincense essential oil originally to help with pain management and relaxation, I’m happy to say that this oil met my expectations and has helped in my recovery from a sever infection. I was told by doctors that I may have cancer so started researching natural cancer treatments and frankincense kept coming up. I decided to mix it with dmso and colloidal silver to make a potent healing gel which I applied to my lower abdomen twice a day. Now when I had an mri scan it showed I had an abnormal growth in my womb that was invading my bladder and colon, the doctors seemed pretty convinced it was cancer, however not long after the scan I had an examination of my cervix and the doctor was very confused because the growth was no longer present and my womb seemed normal. Frankincense is now my go to essential oil and will carry on purchasing it from Rachel, I trust the products she sells and love how dedicated she is to sharing valuable knowledge on natural healing.

I use this for anxiety and it works for me. It smells divine: intense, multi dimensional but not overpowering. I use it at nighttime and find it very soothing. I LOVE it.
Ben –
I’ve been using this oil to help with my arthritis in my foot. I add it to coconut oil to make a balm and use it daily on the area that is painful. I have had better results using this oil than I had when taking medication. I would highly recommend!
Rachel Wild –
Brilliant feedback Ben. Very much appreciated. Your results sound amazing! So happy for you, that you have found this essential oil and that it works so well for you. I’m sure your whole quality of life and what you’re able to do has been transformed as a consequence. So happy for you!
Carol Seville –
A brilliant essential oil. Eating a diet which included dairy left me with calcium overload and Rachel recommended this to help with the inflammation this caused. Now dairy free and the symptoms I had have now gone away with healthy eating and this oil. Who would have thought that oils could be so powerful and beneficial?
