This most beautiful of essential oils comes from a small tree native to North Africa.  The essential oil is extracted from the “tears” from the bark of a wounded tree.  Frankincense has been burnt on alters and in temples since antiquity.  Known as the essence to slow and deepen the breath, conducive to meditation.  On an emotional level Frankincense was used to drive out evil spirits and so may be used to help people break links with a past which may be detrimental to their present.

Touch is a powerful way of communicating.  In my work it is a way to sooth and heal the spirit and the mind.  I studied Aromatherapy Massage and Reflexology at Newcastle College in England with the International Institute of Health and Holistic Therapies, in 1986/88.
