kincense has been a part of religious ceremony and used for its medicinal properties for thousands of years. One of the oldest medical documents known to man, dating back to 1500 BC, recorded the use of Frankincense oil by physicians and priests alike for the treatment of disease and illness. In the Holy Bible the reference to Frankincense brought by the three wise men to the baby Jesus attests to the value placed on this oil. It was of great value then and even now the difficulty in sourcing makes it one of the more expensive essential oils.
