FRANKINCENSE
BOSWELLIA FREREANA
Calming, Revitalizing and Uplifting-- When in doubt start with Frankincense. Good for children, seniors, elderly, pregnancy, transitions and enlightenment.
Dr. David K. Hill has a book on Frankincense available thru www.aromatools.com and see webinars on www.builddoterra.com Dr. Hill has created on Frankincense for our education.
FRANKINCENSE is also known as olibanum, and is a small, shrubby tree with white flowers. Incisions in the bark produce a milky-white resin that hardens into orange-brown “tears,” and the essential oil is steam-distilled from these “tears” of hardened resin. Frankincense has fresh, citrus, turpentine top notes and sweet, warms, balsamic, camphoraceous, wood-smoke undertones. It blends well with most floral, woods, spices and citruses, also with patchouli, clary sage, rosemary, basil, vetiver and my favorite mix is with Wild Orange - protector on several levels.
Research shows traditional use of Frankincense in driving away evil spirits (Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, French, Asian folklore and rituals), and if we think of these spirits as obsessions, fears and anxieties which may have become manifest as physical illness, we understand the benefits of applying Frankincense for all occasions.
FRANKINCENSE: analgesic, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-depressant, astringent, carminative (relieves gas), cicatrizant, cytophylatic (stimulating regeneration of cells), digestive, diuretic, expectorant, sedative, immune boosting tonic, anti-carcinogistic.
Frankincense is the most valuable essential oil for slowing and deepening breathing, helping to allay fear, anxiety, nervous tension and stress. It literally smells divine, and was traditionally burned as an offering to the gods. Useful in massage and bath oils, Frankincense is also good in inhalation, diffusers and mood blends. It counteracts respiratory problems and is useful in treating colds, bronchitis, asthma, coughs and sore throats.
Frankincense has been documented all over the world to have a very strong Cancer deterrent factor --Nicole Stevens has produced current research on effectiveness of essential oils with eliminating cancer and is published - available www.aromatools.com. Dr. Hsueh-Kung Lin, published his research on doTERRA’s Frankincense clearly stating that in eliminating many forms of cancerous cells this is the most potent and effective oil he has had the privilege of working with - the fragrance made him more energetic too.
One of the gifts of Frankincense is its’ chemistry - sesquiterpenes--can cross the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) and facilitates oxygenation of cells for optimal
communication at the cellular level. In a study that has already triggered follow-up work, sesquiterpenes were shown to increase the number of certain receptors in the brain and are now considered prospects for treatment of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia.* (Frankincense, Sandalwood, Valerian, Myrrh, Vetiver research) Skin treated with the sesquiterpenes allows polar compounds such as water to penetrate more effectively.
Frankincense has profound psychological and spiritual benefits, long recognized by religious and spiritual traditions the world over. Its centering effect allows one to focus clearly and is an ideal aid to meditation, contemplation, and prayer, ceasing mental chatter and stilling the mind. Facilitating a state of single-pointed concentration, it allows the Spirit to Soar. Helpful in allowing the past to be in the past, and creating an environment in which optimism and an expectation of freedom in dwelling on current successes that allow peace and self-acceptance to take place.
