Frankincense essential oil is a blessing to be shared. Life is ever-changing and often times we could use help with the many circumstances that come our way, from emotional or spiritual help, skin cancer, eye disorders, stress, despair, or even lung complaints.
Frankincense is a very gentle oil yet powerful oil and so beautiful to be included in one’s life.
Ways Frankincense has been used by Jonell’s family:
- Apply Frankincense topically to skin cancer and it helped the skin cancer to go away after application for one week.
- Apply above eyes on eyebrow bone and below the eye on the cheek bone and have “seen” noticeable positive change to vision. (Keep away from eyes though!)
- Burning the resin or diffusing Frankincense essential oil IS very spiritual and calming to animals and to people.
- Put a few drops of frankincense in a shot of NingXia Red to boost the immune system.
Emotions and stress play a big part in the degeneration of our bodies. Emotions and stress cause inflammation. Frankincense plays an important part in repairing our bodies and emotional state.
Did You Know?
- Frankincense is mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records, Ebers Papyrus, dating from the sixteenth century B.C., and ancient Egyptians listed the oil on hundreds of prescriptions and recipes. Frankincense was valued more than gold during ancient times and only those with great wealth and abundance possessed it. It is considered the “cure all” to all ailments.
- Frankincense trees grow in very harsh conditions, without soil out of polished marble rocks. Deep cuts are made along the tree and the yellow milk-like juice that flows out soon hardens. The frankincense globules are scraped off and distilled for the essential oil. The season for gathering lasts from May until September.
- There are between 17 and 21 difference species of frankincense grown around the world and therefore many varieties of Frankincense Resin. Young Living uses the two frankincense species known to be the most beneficial in terms of healing power: Boswellia carteri (our regular Frankincense)and Boswellia sacra (Sacred Frankincense from Oman, the most prized of all the frankincense species). There are many Frankincense resins, but most grades are only good enough for perfumes, yet many companies use them as Essential Oils and claim they are pure when indeed they do not contain any healing properties at all, or very little.
Sacred Frankincense
Comes from the Boswellia sacra frankincense tree and is distilled at the Young Living distillery in Oman. We are the first company to distill our Sacred Frankincense in Oman. Boswellia sacra frankincense is the rarest and most sought-after aromatic in existence. It has a deeper spiritual connection and contains higher levels of constituents that are prized for their effects on many types of cancer.
After careful negotiations with Omani officials, Gary Young was granted permission to build a Young Living distillery in Oman, and take the resulting essential oil out of Oman. Until this partnership, no Omani frankincense had ever left the country, unless directly purchased by Saudi royals.
Omani frankincense is highly regarded as the frankincense of the ancients and the traditional spiritual oil of biblical times. Young Living’s Sacred Frankincense marks the first time any Westerners have been able to experience these unique, spiritual properties.
Sacred Frankincense is ideal for those who wish to take their spiritual journey and meditation experiences to a higher level. It may be very beneficial to diffuse while meditating or practicing yoga or it could be used in a healing protocol for cancer.
How To Use Sacred Frankincense
Aromatic: Diffuse up to one hour three times daily. Diffuse this oil while practicing yoga, meditation, or prayer to deepen your experience and feel a connection to ancient traditions. More on diffusers and diffusing.
