Frankincense is one of the most popular and versatile essential oils available. Have you ever wondered what makes this genus so special? Today we explore several different species of frankincense resins and their uses. We also discuss using essential oils in a hospice setting. 

Robin Kessler is a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist. She consults with and prepares blends for pain management doctors, acupuncturists and chiropractors looking to better understand Aromatherapy. Robin is the lead Aromatherapist for the Stein Hospice Group, with the goal of helping their clients achieve a better quality of life. You can find Robin’s articles about Frankincense and Hospice in Aromaculture Magazine and Aromatherapy Today. Robin has been nicknamed “The Queen of Frankincense” due to her extensive knowledge of resins, especially the Frankincense species. 

With so many uses, the frankincense family is worth a second look!
