Frankincense
Third Eye · Ajna · 852 Hz
with a secondary anchor at the Crown (963 Hz)
Quiet the noise. Open the inner eye.
The sacred resin of our range — and its bridge oil, anchored at the Third Eye at 852 Hz where it quiets mental chatter, reaching up to the Crown where it has burned in prayer for five thousand years. Steam-distilled from the oleo-gum-resin of Boswellia carterii — the tears tapped by hand from trees in the dry hills of the Horn of Africa and left to harden in the sun. Warm, balsamic, faintly citrus: the scent of every contemplative tradition that ever lit a censer. Diffuse three drops, play the 852 Hz tone, and let the thoughts grow quiet enough to see.

Safety
- Max dilution (leave-on): 3%
- One of our gentler resins — generally well-tolerated in dilution
- Store cool and dark — pinene-rich oils oxidise, and oxidised oil raises sensitisation risk
- Naturally occurring allergens: Limonene
- External use only · Always dilute · Patch test 24 hours before broader use
