Good evening! This week we are going to talk about the last single oil in doTERRA’s top ten collection; frankincense. I saved this one for last, because this is legitimately one of my favourite oils. Frankincense is the king of oils, seriously.
Okay, but in actuality, frankincense is one of the most precious and prized oils that there is. In addition to being carried by one of the Wisemen in the New Testament, frankincense has been used by the Babylonians and Assyrians during religious ceremonies and the ancient Egyptians used Frankincense for everything from perfume to salves for soothing skin. These old traditions helped to develop some of the most popular uses for frankincense in modern day essential oil use.
The top properties for frankincense are that it is an immuno-stimulant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antidepressant. With its woodsy smell it blends well with so many oils for great diffuser blends, it helps to relieve stress and tension, and is absolutely AMAZING in skin care products (pst, check the ingredients listed in most of our skin care products from doTERRA, frankincense is in most of them – especially the anti-aging lines).
So what is frankincense and where does it come from? Well this short video helps to explain it and also how doTERRA makes a difference. Check it out (this was the first video I ever saw from doTERRA that made me become really interested in the company and their co-impact sourcing).
So what are some of the top uses for frankincense? This quick video from Dr. Hill at doTERRA explains some of the top uses.
Some other ways and some of my favourite ways to use this oil are:
- Apply topically to skin imperfections to help reduce the appearance.
- Apply to scars and stretch marks to help diminish the appearance.
- Apply one drop to the bottoms of feet to help promote feelings of balance and grounding.
- Take 1-2 drops internally to help support healthy cellular immune function.*
- Supports healthy immune, nervous, and digestive function when taken internally*
- When diffused promotes feelings of peace, relaxation, satisfaction, and overall wellness.
- Put 1 drop under the tongue to help ease feelings of depression.
- Apply to lower back to help reduce back pain.
Cant wait to share with you more uses for this amazing oil this week!
See you later,
