Frankincense

 

Wow! I’m not sure how my husband and I ever lived without therapeutic-grade essential oils! Seriously, you don’t know what you don’t know…and that was us. The good news is, we know now! 

what is Frankincense?

Frankincense is an Essential Oil that’s native to Oman, India. This oil comes from the distillation of the gum resin from the Boswellia tree. Particularly, the species we use are carterii and sacra. The carterii species is the most well-known and most studied Frankincense variety. Studies are becoming more abundant and are showing it’s powerful abilities to regulate the immune system, reduce inflammation (especially in joints), and to interfere with autoimmune development. 

Methods of Use: Aromatic, Topical, and Internal 

Therapeutic Actions: Cleansing, Protecting, Calming, Soothing, Regenerative, Muscle Calming, Emotional Support 

Function Support: Limbic, Endocrine, Respiratory, Circulatory, Tissue, Blood Nervous System, Emotions 

why we love Frankincense…

There are many ways to love Frankincense Essential Oil! In fact, it’s our favorite meditation tool! We diffuse this while meditating to reduce stress and negative emotions while encouraging a greater spiritual connection. In addition, Frankincense is an antiseptic and disinfectant that has shown to boost immune system function.  Lastly, we love how Frankincense naturally supports our skin health without the use of harmful chemicals. Research shows it has the ability to strengthen and improve skin tone while reducing the appearance of blemishes and scars. 

*Disclaimer – Not all essential oils are created equal. In fact, there are only a small percentage that are pure, authentic therapeutic-grade…essentially, you get what you pay for…

in conclusion…
