Why Frankincense Essential Oil Is My Number One Choice

If I could only afford ONE Essential Oil… I would choose Frankincense.

Why is Frankincense so special?

Frankincense Essential Oil has long been recognized for its value in supporting health, wellness, and beauty. Distilled from the Boswellia tree, it has been used for thousands of years to support digestive health, skin, muscles, joints and bones, the respiratory and endocrine system, cellular health, cognitive function, and emotional wellbeing.

Let’s Look at Frankincense Essential Oil in More Detail

While the resin from the tree possesses many different properties, it is most highly regarded for the oil. Frankincense is often referred to as the king of oils as it is highly revered for everything from skin and digestion to beauty and emotional wellbeing. It is truly one of nature’s most valued gifts. One of its main constituents is alpha-pinene which is soothing, and extremely beneficial for skin health but it is also rich in monoterpenes which have a wide array of benefits, making this essential oil effective for a variety of uses. I believe one of the primary reasons frankincense offers, is supporting our self-protection. Our bodies are in a constant state of renewal and repair, and Frankincense with its broad-spectrum activity can support cells and system function throughout the entire body.

Every day our life circumstances can be unique as well as repetitive, creating all sorts of challenges for our body but because Frankincense essential oil is multifunctional it is an oil that is foundational. When I think about an essential oil that can benefit my body on a daily basis, I think of Frankincense.

Key to successful usage of any essential oil is consistency. Smaller amounts used routinely will be more effective.  Taking advantage of the value of this beautiful essential oil can be as easy as diffusing or breathing in the aroma from your palms or applying it to your pulse points, joints, muscles, neck, temples, over the abdomen, under the sole of your foot, and more. Many even use doTERRA Frankincense essential oil internally. I recommend that use the method you are most comfortable with and if you have questions, make sure to reach out.

Another reason why Frankincense is valued so highly, is for its positive effects on emotional and cognitive function and support of the endocrine system as a whole.  However, one of my favorite reasons for using Frankincense, is its protective support to cells and helping the body to manage healthy inflammatory responses.

The use of Frankincense is so diverse and beneficial to nearly everyone that I believe that doTERRA certified pure tested grade Frankincense can enrich your health and wellness, as it has mine. I use Frankincense to create feelings of peace, satisfaction, and an overall sense of greater emotional wellbeing. This precious oil is my trusted source to promote healthy lung function, support the health of the liver and digestive system, as well as the whole muscular and skeletal system, which includes joints, muscles, ligaments, structural tissues, and bones. And adding Frankincense to my daily personal care routine has made my skin more radiant and more resilient.

Frankincense can offer the extra protection we need every day to be better equipped to handle today’s stresses of life and support the normal aging process. A few drops every day can benefit everybody in the entire family.

There are literally dozens of species of Boswell trees, but there are generally only four, which produced true Frankincense resin, which the oil is distilled from. doTERRA uses Boswellia carterii, Boswellia sacra, Boswellia papyrifera, and Boswellia frereana, to distill a unique, certified pure, tested grade Frankincense, which is exclusive in its benefits, quality, and purity.

Frankincense truly is the king of oil, so when in doubt as to which oil to use Frankincense would be my choice.
