Shower Gel/Bubblebath….. Frankincense (carterii) and Cold pressed Orange
Description
Pumps: Buy your product with a pump the first time but hold on to the pump when the bottle is empty. Rinse and place inside the NEW bottle when you buy again. The products with pumps cost £1.00 more, but you will only need to replace them occasionally…. and this leads to less pumps going in to landfill sites. We think this is a good thing.
Choose from the drop down list whether you would like a 200gm bottle of your favourite shower gel or perhaps you prefer the refill 1000gm bottle.
This allows you to top up your own bottle at home, put five less bottles in to the environment .
(Please be aware that the video, made in 2014, shows old style packaging and lists product as 250ml bottle.)

The Science bit!
Frankincense resin is obtained from trees of the genus Boswellia (family Burseraceae). Incisions are made in the trunks of the trees to produce exuded gum, which appears as milk like resin. The resin hardens into orange-brown gum resin known as frankincense. There are numerous species and varieties of frankincense trees, including Boswellia serrata in India, Boswellia carteri in East Africa and China, Boswellia frereana in Somalia, and Boswellia sacra in Arabia, each producing a slightly different type of resin. Differences in soil and climate create more diversity in the resins, even within the same species. The aroma from these resins is valued for its presumed healing properties and superior qualities for religious rituals since the time of the ancient Egyptians [1], and has been used in incense, fumigants, and as a fixative in perfumes.
Frankincense resin has been considered throughout the ages to have a wealth of health supporting properties. The resins of Boswellia carteri and Boswellia serrata have been used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases [2] such as Crohn’s disease [3] in traditional medicine of many countries. The anti-inflammatory activity has been attribute to the resin’s ability in regulating immune cytokines production [4] and leukocyte infiltration [5,6]. Boswellia serrata extract also exhibits anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities [7]. Additionally, extracts from Boswellia species gum resins might possess anti-cancer activities, based on their anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activities in rat astrocytoma cell lines [8] and in human leukemia cell lines [9], as well as their anti-carcinogenic activity in chemically induced mouse skin cancer models [10]. Clinically, extract from the resin reduces the peritumoral edema in glioblastoma patients [8] and reverses multiple brain metastases in a breast cancer patient [11]. These results suggest that frankincense resin contains active ingredients that modulate important biological activities.
