​How to use Frankincense

1. Grind frankincense tears into a fine powder with a mortar and pestle or an electric spice grinder. Add the powder to homemade soaps and lotions or sprinkle a small amount into a carrier oil, such as almond or jojoba, and use it as perfume.


2.  Burn whole or crushed tears as incense. Light an incense charcoal and place it in a heat-safe container. Place a small amount of frankincense on the burning coal to use for spiritual purposes, as an insect repellent or to enjoy the resin's rich perfume.


3.  Inhale the vapours of frankincense resin to clear your nasal passages and ease the respiratory congestion associated with the common cold. Pour a kettle of boiling water into a large bowl and sprinkle a teaspoon of lightly crushed tears into the water. Lean over the bowl with a towel over your head to trap the steam. Breathe deeply and slowly and allow the vapour to loosen clogged sinuses.


4.  Place frankincense tears inside protective amulets or talismans or pass these sacred objects through the smoke of burning frankincense. In many spiritual traditions, frankincense is believed to have the power to protect, purify and aid in spiritual enlightenment

​How to burn Frankincense 

1. Fill a small heatproof container with sand. Special incense holders can be purchased for this purpose, or you can use a seashell, small bowl, or anything that can tolerate heat without breaking.


2. Place a self-igniting charcoal disc in the centre of the container. Light it with a match or lighter. Simply touch the flame to the disc and it will catch fire. Wait for the flames to burn out and the disc to begin glowing red.


3. Sprinkle the frankincense on top of the disc and fan it a little with your hands to start it smoking. Don't smother the charcoal, or it will go out. Instead, use only a small amount of frankincense in the centre of the disc. More can be added as this burns away, if necessary.


4. Heat a small aluminium pan on the stove top over low heat to burn frankincense using the pan method. Wait for about 10 to 15 minutes, to make sure the pan is nice and hot.


5. Sprinkle the frankincense into the heated pan and it will begin to burn almost instantly. Start with a small amount, and add more as necessary. Do not leave the pan unattended at any time.
