WHAT IS IT?
Frankincense was valued more than gold during ancient times, and only those with great wealth and abundance possessed it. It is considered a holy anointing oil in the Middle East, and has been documented dating back to thousands and thousands of years ago. Frankincense was also one of the gifts the wise men gave to the Christ child when he was a baby according to the Holy Bible. Knowing that fact in itself - I feel like I am holding a piece of history when I hold my bottle of Frankincense essential oil. If it was good enough for Jesus back in those days, it must be really special for us too! How amazing that Young Living has given us access to such a historic and revered oil!
But outside of its reputation for being an oil for the wealthy, Frankincense is also very delicate to extract, and the process takes almost half a lifetime for most people. Young Living has their own Frankincense and Myrrh tree farm in Oman in the middle east - but a Frankincense tree cannot even be tapped into to extract the essential oil until the tree is 40 years old and dead. Only then can Young Living employees harvest and extract the essential oil, distill it, and put it into a bottle for all of us to use. Isn't that mind blowing?
WHAT'S IT GOOD FOR?
Most don't realize that Frankincense was so highly regarded in ancient times because of the massive amounts of benefits it has for the human body, and for the fact that people used it for literally EVERYTHING back then. Because it is so powerful, so hard to extract, and the answer to any question regarding wellness, even being in possession of an oil like this was considered an honor. Ancient documents show hundreds and hundreds of recipes where Frankincense was used to support wellness, but here is just a short list that you can examine for yourself:
-Calming and relaxing
-Supports emotional well-being
-Great to massage into the skin after strenuous activity
-May help smooth the appearance of healthy or aging skin
-Supports healthy skin coloration
-Promotes clear skin
-Supports healthy breathing
-Promotes healthy and proper cellular function
-Supports restful sleep
-Supports immune health
-Supports overall health and wellness
...and the list goes on and on!
HOW DO I USE IT?
In the new Premium Starter Kit, it comes with Young Living's Frankincense essential oil. That one is best experienced when applied topically, inhaled directly, or diffused. However, Young Living also has a Frankincense Vitality essential oil, and that is great to put into a capsule, add into food or drinks, or under the tongue.
Personally, we love Frankincense in our home for all things skin related, all things emotions related, and all things wellness related. If you were a fly on a wall at our house, you might see me adding drops of Frankincense on my face after I wash it in the mornings - or putting a drop on my daughter's knee after she fell down outside - or inhaling directly from the bottle if something ugly or hurtful has happened - or diffusing during my quiet time as I do my Bible study - or applying on the outside of my throat for some wellness support. I might also add drops of Frankincense into Epsom salts and pour into my bathtub after a long day. You name it - we use it! With Frankincense Vitality, a friend of mine loves taking a capsule of it for deep seated grief and emotional support, as well as adding a drop or two in hot tea for wellness support.
If you're new to Frankincense, start by swiping a drop across your forehead and on your temples. Notice how you feel before and after - you're going to be so pleasantly blessed!
