What Distinguishes Therapeutic-Grade Frankincense Oil?

Hello everyone,

I am constantly learning about what sets therapeutic grade essential oils apart from common place essential oils available in retail stores. Here is an excerpt from an article which describes the sourcing of therapeutic grade Frankincense oil by Young Lving which I find interesting.

Dr. Warfa is a professor of botany and hails from Somalia. Dr. Warfa is the world’s preeminent authority on frankincense, with almost a decade of field experience studying the growth patterns of various species of frankincense. According to Dr. Warfa, proper resin identification and distillation are essential for production of therapeutic-grade frankincense oil. Grade 1 Boswellia carteri frankincense resin from Somalia currently sets the world standard for available frankincense, Warfa explains. Other frankincense resins may be comparable—such as those found in Oman—but these resins are scarce and not commercially available. According to Dr. Warfa, Omani frankincense has not been exported out of Oman for more than 50 years. 

Dr. Warfa’s insights into frankincense have helped Young Living define our Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ (YLTG) frankincense oil standard. With nearly 15 years experience sourcing frankincense, Young Living has compiled more than a decade’s worth of Gas Chromatograph and Mass Spectrometer analysis data to provide clear support for our YLTG standard.
