Frankincense steam distilled

Frankincense 

Steam distilled vs CO2 extracted

Carbon dioxide extracts of Frankincense arguably have a broader spectrum of components than the steam distilled essential oil. Reductionist pharmacological logic would dictate that therefore they might have a broader spectrum of efficacy, especially for all the potential effects vis a vis degenerative conditions, arthritis or chronic inflammation. On the other hand there is plentiful experience which also attributes many beneficial effects to the steam distilled oil. Among those mostly interested in the fragrance there seems to be a consensus that perfumistically the distilled oil is often superior.
