Frankincense is an essential oil with centering and balancing properties, making it a perfect complement to the pines and firs in Forest.
Forest Primary Ingredients
Fir Essential Oil
There are numerous active compounds in fir essential oil that give it special health benefits. These include sabinene, alpha-pinene, carene, and limonene. Together, these compounds contribute to the essential oils’ anti-inflammatory, stress-relieving, and antimicrobial properties.
Additionally, for many, breathing in the scent of fir evokes happy memories of the holiday seasons or serene days spent hiking through the wood—while providing many of the benefits that a hike through the woods brings.
Frankincense Essential Oil
Frankincense is one of the most widely used essential oils and is especially popular to diffuse during yoga and meditation sessions. In ancient rituals, it was used as incense to promote health and banish negative energy. Frankincense essential oil is known for its anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, antiseptic, and diuretic properties.
