Where does Frankincense come from?

Frankincense essential oil is produced from the resin of the Boswellia sacra, Bowellia carterii and boswellia frereana plants. The resin of the Boswellia sacra tree is a sap-like substance with a high viscosity. These trees can grow up to 8 meters and are commonly found growing on rocky slopes and southern coastal mountains.

After the resin secretes from the tree, it is then scraped off or collected as it drips onto the ground. When doTERRA obtains the resin from Boswellia trees, the trees are carefully scored or ‘bled’. From there, the resin is delicately distilled and essential oils are extracted.
