Plant Therapy Organic Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil

Frankincense Serrata is believed to be the oldest documented type of Frankincense, and is referenced in the Bible and Ayurvedic medicine. Our Organic Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil, also known as Olibanum, is steam distilled from the gum resin of the tree. It has been used for thousands of years by native people as an incense, medicine, and in cosmetics.


  • Botanical Name: Boswellia serrata


  • Aromatic Scent: Sweet, green, woody, earthy scent


  • Strength of Aroma: Medium


  • Country of Origin: India


  • Extraction Method: Steam distilled


  • Plant Part: Resin


  • Kid Safe: No


Frankincense Serrata is high in natural constituents called alpha thujene, alpha-pinene, and limonene. These components belong to the monoterpenes chemical family, which makes Frankincense Serrata an excellent choice for relieving discomfort of the joints and skin. A topical application of Organic Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil, diluted to 3%, can soothe stiff, sore joints and ease tense muscles.

Like its sister oil, Frankincense Carteri, Frankincense Serrata is also helpful for nourishing and supporting healthy skin. It will also help to reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and blemishes.

When diffused, Organic Frankincense Serrata will offer powerful support to your immune system and respiratory systems. You may want to choose Frankincense Serrata when you’re in need of a deodorizer, or air purifier. It helps to eliminate germs and microbes from the air.

In aromatherapy, this rich, sweet-smelling essential oil offers deeply calming, grounding properties. It will calm frazzled nerves and soothe sadness and grief. It’s a perfect essential oil for meditation, prayer, or when working through big emotional and spiritual valleys.

What’s the Difference Between Frankincense Serrata and Carteri?

The differences between all Frankincense Essential Oils (for there are four!) are difficult to pinpoint. All of them offer very similar therapeutic properties, though with differing chemistry. The primary difference lies in the aroma.


  • Frankincense Carterii: This is the most well-known and commonly used Organic Frankincense Essential Oil. Frankincense Carterii has an intoxicatingly smooth, relaxing aroma that is deep, rich, and grounding. It is particularly prized for its skin rejuvenating and healing abilities and can be used in serums or creams for the face.


  • Frankincense Serrata: The aroma of Organic Frankincense Serrata is more sweet and delicate than other types of Frankincense, with a hint of pine. Organic Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil is used to treat chronic ulcers, ringworm, and menstrual pain. The anti-inflammatory properties of Frankincense serrata make it ideal for joint pain.
