Frankincense Breakdown

Frankincense Breakdown


Boswellia carterii, frereana, y sacra

Of all of the essential oils available, I would argue that Frankincense is an oil every home truly needs. It is perhaps the most versatile and most beneficial of all essential oils... at least in my home it is. Frankincense is remarkably gentle, which makes it the oil of choice for people of all ages and health stages. It is a uniquely powerful aroma that serves to provide soothing and enhancing qualities to many areas of the body. If you've never before used oils, I highly suggest this be one of your first oils you learn to incorporate in your household.

This centuries-old knowledge contributes to the modern uses of Frankincense today. It’s soothing and beautifying properties are used to rejuvenate skin and help reduce the appearance of imperfections. As the king of oils, Frankincense is known to support healthy cellular function.* When inhaled or diffused, Frankincense promotes feelings of peace, relaxation, satisfaction, and overall wellness.

Directions for Use:
Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Internal use: Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid.
