Frankincense is often regarded as one of the most significant and beneficial oils for its wide range of therapeutic and healing properties, specifically for its effectiveness in treating mental health! It is one of the strongest natural remedies for depression and anxiety, as its calming properties work to slow heart rate and reduce blood pressure, without any of the unintended side effects of many pharmaceuticals. Many studies also show that not only does it work to treat the depression and pain cancer patients feel experience, but it also has the potential to kill cancer cells themselves!
Metaphysically: Frankincense is highly spiritual and is often used to enhance meditation, prayer, and connection to higher consciousness. It promotes feelings of peace, tranquility, and spiritual understanding. It's also used for purification, protection, and grounding.
Safety is paramount when working with pure essential oils. This blend is potent and should always be diluted with a carrier oil (such as jojoba, almond, or fractionated coconut oil) before topical application. A general guideline is 1-3% dilution (e.g., 5-15 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil). Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care, consult your physician before use. Diffuse in a well-ventilated area and start with shorter diffusion times to assess your sensitivity.
