Serrata Frankincense has a rich scent, with spicy, lemony, and balsamic overtones. It's highly valued in Ayurvedic medicine, and has long been used for religious and spiritual ceremonies.

Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil is used in aromatherapy to help with inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, asthma, and Crohn's disease. It has even been suggested as a powerful and natural alternative to non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
