5 reasons to use Frankincense

Frankincense is one of my absolutely favorite essential oils. It is one of the universal essential oils which means it supports several body systems at once such as the Immune System, Neurological system.  It's high sesquiterpine content enables it to pass through the blood brain barrier, where it may effectively oxygenate the pineal and pituitary glands and, thus, may alleviate "brain fog." 

1. Add it to your beauty routine! Frankincense can help reduce the appearance of blemishes, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tones. Mix a few drops of Frankincense with your favorite moisturizer and apply daily. You can also add Frankincense to your toner, facemasks, or exfoliating scrub.
2. Dab diluted Frankincense under your eyes to help you look awake, rested, and to support a youthful appearance. Try applying it before using a Jade roller or dry brushing. Frankincense is known for its ability to support the appearance of healthy-looking skin.
3. Frankincense has a rich history and its powerful benefits have been utilized for thousands of years. In many parts of the world it is considered a holy anointing oil and has been used in religious ceremonies. It was also given to Jesus Christ as a gift at his birth. Frankincense is mentioned in one of the oldest known scientific records, the Ebers Papyrus, dating from the 16th century B.C.
4. Frankincense has a calming aroma and promotes feelings of relaxation and tranquility. Create your own “Calm” blend by mixing 5 drops of Frankincense, 3 drops of Stress Away, and 5 drops of Lavender in a 10ml roller and top with carrier oil. You can also diffuse it or wear diffuser jewelry for an aroma of comfort and peace to help keep yourself grounded and focused.
5. Give your spiritual moments a little extra enlightenment by diffusing Frankincense essential oil. Its rich, woodsy aroma is very grounding, uplifting, and invites spiritual connection. Try diffusing Frankincense or applying one drop on the crown of your head before mediation, pondering, scripture reading, or practicing yoga for an elevated experience.
