Believed to be one of the oldest documented Frankincense varieties, Frankincense Serrata Essential Oil is often thought to be the Frankincense referenced in ancient texts, including the Bible and traditional Ayurvedic medicine.
Frankincense Serrata is naturally rich in monoterpenes such as alpha-thujene, alpha-pinene, and limonene. These powerful constituents give the oil its well-known antiseptic, decongestant, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it both versatile and deeply therapeutic.
Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.

SAFETY
Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes.
Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful oils and can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise required - for this reason, ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended.
