FRANKINCENSE
Boswellia frereana
My favorite oil that I use daily is Frankincense. At first, I didn't like it so much. But the more I read about it the more I really enjoyed it and got over the woodsy scent that I didn't like. Now, it helps me get through my days. I rub two drops on my back and chest. Keeps me calm in the midst of the chaos. My newest success story,which lead me to write this post… When I went through treatments in 2011/2012 I had to get shots that stimulated my bone morrow to produce white blood cells. For me it was one of the most excuricating pains I have had to endure, far worse then having a baby. Imagine an ice pick, picking at your bones. That kind of pain. Anyway, I don't have that pain to that extent anymore, but I do have a lingering dull pain from head to toe every so often. I have been feeling it the last couple of days and I woke up at 3am in extensive pain from head to toe. I couldn't just lather my entire body ( well I could but that would have been a lot of oil) I grabbed my iPad and started searching for a remedy that was a like an ibuprofen. I found one, but didn't have all the oils it called for, but I found a liquid morphine. I was desperate so I made it. 6 drops of Frankincense and 6 drops of Oregano. I laid back down and was skimming through Pinterest and no joke within 3 minutes I wasn't hurting anymore. These oils still blow my mind.
History
Frankincense has been a part of religious ceremony and used for its medicinal properties for thousands of years. One of the oldest medical documents known to man dating back to 1500 BC recorded the use of Frankincense oil by physicians and priests alike for the treatment of disease and illness. In the Holy Bible the reference to Frankincense brought by the three wise men to the baby Jesus attests to the value placed on this oil. It was of great value then and even now the difficulty in sourcing makes it one of the more expensive essential oils. Gum resin from trees in Oman, India, Somalia and Yemen and other areas of North Africa yeild much of the worlds Frankincense. DōTerra Frankincense comes from the country of Oman, the family is Burseraceae, and the oil is steam distilled from the resin tears extracted from the tree.
Typical Application
Ancient ritual usage and modern research confirm that Frankincense has relaxing effects on the human body including uplifting mood and heightening awareness. These antidepressant properties can be achieved through various diffusion techniques and topical application including various forms of massage. This oil is also well suited to help with skin conditions. It is a mild oil that in most instances can be applied directly, if necessary. Help with acne to wrinkles, cuts and wounds to reducing scarring are all mentioned by those that have used this essential oil. Most practical for skin application is to make a 1% to 2% dilution with a carrier oil or a similar dilution in an ointment.
