I have never heard of someone doing that. How/why do you do that?

Sounds interesting & I have never smelled frankincense oil before.

History
Indirect burning of frankincense on a hot coal

Frankincense has been traded on the Arabian Peninsula and in North Africa for more than 5000 years.[3] A mural depicting sacks of frankincense traded from the Land of Punt adorns the walls of the temple of ancient Egyptian Queen Hatshepsut, who died in 1458 BCE.[4]

Frankincense was a part of the Ketoret which is used when referring to the consecrated incense described in the Hebrew Bible and Talmud. It is also referred to as the HaKetoret (the incense). It was offered on the specialized incense altar in the time when the Tabernacle was located in the First and Second Jerusalem Temples. The ketoret was an important component of the Temple service in Jerusalem. It is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible book of Exodus 30:34, where it is named levonah, meaning "white" in Hebrew.[5]

"While burning incense was accepted as a practice in the later Roman Catholic church, the early church during Roman times forbade the use of incense in services resulting in a rapid decline in the incense trade."[6]

Frankincense was reintroduced to Europe by Frankish Crusaders (Frank-incense). Although it is better known as "frankincense" to westerners, the resin is also known as olibanum, which is derived from the Arabic al-lubān (roughly translated: "that which results from milking"), a reference to the milky sap tapped from the Boswellia tree. Some[who?] have also postulated that the name comes from the Arabic term for "Oil of Lebanon" since Lebanon was the place where the resin was sold and traded with Europeans.

The lost city of Ubar, sometimes identified with Irem in what is now the town of Shisr in Oman, is believed to have been a center of the frankincense trade along the recently rediscovered "Incense Road". Ubar was rediscovered in the early 1990s and is now under archaeological excavation.

The Greek historian Herodotus was familiar with Frankincense and knew it was harvested from trees in southern Arabia. He reports, however, that the gum was dangerous to harvest because of venomous snakes that lived in the trees. He goes on to describe the method used by the Arabians to get around this problem, that being the burning of the gum of the styrax tree whose smoke would drive the snakes away.[7] The resin is also mentioned by Theophrastus and by Pliny the Elder in his Naturalis Historia.

Well, when I get some money I will have to go out and buy some to do the same. What a great idea!

And thank you for sharing!

Cool...glad you feel a connection.

I like to burn Ylang ylang and sweet orange together. And sometimes jasmine and patchouli.
GA ;)x

There's one called 'baby powder' it's gorgeous and not too heavy like some of them can be , also I love the violet oils.

Lavender,Patchouli,Bergamot, Sandalwood, Neroli are amongst my favourites

Egyptian Lotus, Rose, anise, and sandalwood are my favorites:love1:

Jasmine, rose, and sandalwood ... I find Frankincense too much for my senses..

OOOO, Egyptian Lotus sounds good. I have got some great ideas now, lol. I also like burning orange blossom and holly especially during the holidays.

Kerosene28 is my favorite oil to burn, because without it i dont get no hot water and central heating out here in the middle of nowhere ;)

Kerosene28? Is that the equivalent to American propane?? lol

Jasmine, though i can't do essential oils at the mo. first time i used it, it evoked a waking dream

I personally do not use synthetic oils or scents I get many from my sacred garden and others from a Herb Company if I cannot grow it. I also take trips into California and go to San Francisco to China Town and by some dehydrated herbs there also.
I combine certain assential oils to make a blessed combinations to use in castings banishings and love making you name it any kind of magick work.
If I had to pick one scent I guess it would be neroli..

Cinnamon - also enhances other essential oils :smile:

Dragon blood
Lavander
orange and peppermint
Strawberries
Chocolate

bergamot.also orange blossom and lavender

Sandalwood
Jasmine
Lavender
Rose
Cedarwood
Cinnamon
Peppermint

Well I haven't smelt very many oils, and most of the ones I have smelt ended up being expired from over 10 years ago lol. But if I were to chose from the selected few I have smelt, I would chose vanilla. :smile:

lavender and peppermint

I love bergamot it is fresh and uplifting:hug3:

Aniseed, benzoin, bergamot, citrus blend, geranium bourbon, jasmine, and vetivert. My top 7 favorite oils.

I love scented oils of rose, jasmine, sandalwood

Anything but crude oil!!!!

I think a few drops of Ylang Ylang in an oil burner is beautiful

I spent quite a while researching and experimenting with many different oils and combinations to find the blend which works best for me during meditation. The blend I came up with cosists of:

Clary Sage
Frankincense
Sandalwood
Begamot

Clary sage is my favourite oil. I love the smell so much and it has an ability of taking me into a deeper meditation. Both frankincense and sandalwood cause the brain to release more melatonin which helps in relaxation during meditation and is also (believed to be) strongly linked to the release of DMT by the pineal. The bergamot is there to just lift the blend a bit and balance it out and also because I love the smell of it. Bergamot blends very well with frankincense so it works perfect in the blend.

I'm general I'm more attracted to woody, earthy tones.

Sweet orange & ylang ylang
Frangipiani & tuberose

Sweet Orange and Peppermint

orbass or euclitsess or lemonss oiss

Peppermint essential oil

I have lots of essential and fragrance oils for burning like, rose, gardenia, frankincense, lavender, orange, cinnamon, rosemary, patchouli, cedarwood. My favorite one is peppermint. I burn it when I need to have a clear head, so I burn it when I'm working from home. I like the fresh, clean, pepper-minty aroma that wakes up my senses. It seems to keep me on my toes and focused.

Lavender mixed with sweet orange e.o.

Lavender is the best IMO

Is there a Peach oil?That would be my favorite.
