Oil of the Week: Frankincense

When it comes to anything emotion related I always recommend frankincense!

Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) essential oil comes from the tree of the same name native to Africa. The gum resin from the tree is steam distilled to produce the oil. The oil is warm to smell with a spicy, sweet scent.

Physically, frankincense aids digestion and stimulates the appetite. Respiratory support is provided by helping to calm coughing. It is wonderful for the skin by helping acne, wounds and diminishing wrinkles...thinking smoothing and restoration.

Emotionally, frankincense does it's magic! It supports emotional stability, balance, and fortitude. It can soothe irritated and elevated states. It relieves metal strain and tension. Frankincense can heal emotional wounds.

Energetically, frankincense aids in contemplation and meditation. It can promote a sense of courage, inspiration, and peace. When diffused or applied topically it can remove negative energies that surround us.

Happy oiling friends!
