Frankincense has long been known for its incredible grounding and healing properties and carries huge historical and spiritual significance. It is truly a versatile oil and one we reach for when our immune systems are going down, our respiratory systems need a boost, we need to invite in a sense of calm and serenity, or we want to give our skin some TLC!

BACKGROUND

Frankincense has been used in religious rituals for over 3,000 years. Frankincense was included in the Ebers Papyrus, one of the oldest known medical records dating back to the 16th century BC, and was gifted to Jesus Christ as His birth.

Young Living distills Frankincense oil from the resin of Boswellia carterii trees grown in northern Africa, near the Arabian Peninsula. Sacred Frankincense, from the Boswellia sacra trees, is believed to be the variety of Frankincense give to Christ, and is very similar in profile to Frankincense, Boswellia carterii.

FRANKINCENSE & SKINCARE

Frankincense is our healing oil. It supports the body's own natural healing processes so it can be used to soothe skin, support healthy cells, and renew skin tone and texture. If there were one oil you could use in your beauty routine or for your skin needs - it would be Frankincense!

Apply Frankincense to the skin where there is any issue. It's great for supporting the skin for acute needs and for daily use for keeping skin looking young! We love to apply Frankincense after washing our faces morning and evening.. Simply apply with carrier oil like jojoba oil over all of the face either with a roller ball or with your hands and then lather on a moisturizer for the most amazing blend!

FRANKINCENSE & EMOTIONS

Frankincense is very grounding and can be inhaled to calm the mind and bring a sense of focus and well being. It can be especially helpful for releasing feelings of anger, entanglement, and abandonment.

In Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils, Dr. Mein says that the alarm point for these emotions is the "ego- point", which is the center of your chest. If a particular relationship is extra hard, the way out of it is to Surrender and Detach, standing in your own power and security. Frankincense can help you get there!

Here's how to use it for releasing stuck emotions related to this:

Rub Frankincense over the center of the chest whenever you feel that deep, angry feeling, or when your chest hurts from emotional struggles.

Say statements like: "I am grounded." or "I stand in my power."

Inhale Frankincense until you feel something shift and that burden in your chest gets lighter!

The composition of Frankincense oil is especially high in “monoterpenes” which are components that help to rewrite information in the DNA of the cells that is harmful to the body (signals inducing stress, fight or flight, cellular issues, cellular memories related to trauma, injury, etc.).

So much of our health stems from emotional and spiritual roots. When we take the time to address stress and chaos of the mind and spirit, there are always physical benefits to come. This is undoubtedly why Frankincense is infamous for its overall benefits to the immune system and regulating cellular activity.

If you have not yet tried incorporating Frankincense with prayer and a practice of stillness, this is an excellent way to dive into the mental, emotional, and spiritual uses of essential oils firsthand!

FRANKINCENSE & THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Frankincense is packed full of antioxidants – compounds that help our bodies repair damage to DNA and bolster our cells to prevent further damage. Because of its constituents, Frankincense can spur and bolster our natural immune system response when our defenses start to go down. It can also help open the airways by supporting the body's natural response to inflammation or injury!

Because Frankincense is an antioxidant powerhouse, it is a popular choice for many to take as a dietary supplement, to roll over the lymph nodes, and to apply beneath and around breast tissue! It is a key ingredient in the Longevity Softgels for this same reason.

KEY CONSTITUENTS

*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

Alpha-pinene: a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind

Limonene: known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits

ESSENTIAL OILS

When you have a cough or cold or feel one coming on, you just want to be comfortable – especially if you still have to work, travel, or take care of your children or loved ones! (click on the individual oil pictures to learn more about the oil)

Thieves Essential Oil Blend:

This blend is our go-to for all things immune system related! It's the blend infused into the chest rub and cough drops we just talked about – and for good reason! We love to apply and diffuse this blend, add Thieves Vitality to a mug of echinacea tea, or add it to epsom salts for an immune supporting detox bath!

Frankincense Essential Oil:

Frankincense is an immune and respiratory powerhouse! This historical oil has been used for centuries for health. Apply it with Thieves, Lemon, R.C. or Purification to the chest and back, add a few drops to the Thieves Chest Rub when you apply, add Frankincense to epsom salts for a detox bath, and diffuse this oil when you're feeling down. Get it in, on and around you as much as possible!

Lemon Essential Oil:

Lemon is a wonderful oil for soothing cough and creating comfort in times of congestion. Diffuse it, apply it with Frankincense and Thieves Chest Rub, add a few drops of Lemon Vitality to echinacea tea, and add Lemon to detox baths. Lemon is high in limonene, a constituent highly regarded for its immune system support.

R.C. Essential Oil Blend:

Standing for Respiratory Comfort, R.C. essential oil blend is a gentle eucalyptus blend that we love for soothing and comforting the respiratory system. Diffuse, apply, and add this oil to detox baths as much as possible. This is a great choice for little ones too!

Purification Essential Oil Blends:

This purifying blend is another favorite for immune and respiratory needs. Containing Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Myrtle and other purifying oils, it makes a great addition to your comfort routine during times of cough or cold. Diffuse, apply, and add to bath salts.

Raindrop Technique Collection: This curated set of essential oils is a powerful tool for promoting health, wellness and vitality – both proactively and for acute needs since the oils included can be incredible tools for healing! This collection features nine essential oils with immune and respiratory support properties. We love them for making rollers and adding to detox baths!

Thieves chest rub & cough

THIEVES CHEST RUB

A must-have for every medicine cabinet, Thieves Chest Rub is a 100% plant-based alternative for over-the-counter cough and congestion relief. This natural chest rub soothes sniffles, coughs, and congestion for the whole family with a powerful blend of essential oils and natural, plant-based ingredients.Plus the easy-to-use bottle doesn't even require you to get your hands messy!! The formula is free of petroleum, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, synthetic perfumes or dyes, artificial colors, or preservatives and still packs an incredible punch when it comes to cough and cold! Pure ingredients and all the power of Thieves kicking that chest congestion to the curb? We will take some of that!

Sadly, conventional chest rubs are filled with synthetic additives and diluents, and even the ‘natural' options are less than ideal. Many options use petroleum as a base. Petroleum (petrolatum) is often not fully refined in the US, which means it can be contaminated with toxic chemicals called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.Many ‘natural' chest rubs also contain impure essential oils or other lower-grade components that don't meet the same standards as the ingredients found in Young Living products. The active ingredient in the most popular over the counter chest rub is actually a synthetic version of Ravintsara essential oil! And we are always going to choose the original over a synthetic copy, especially when it comes to our health and our family's health!

THIEVES COUGH DROPS

Get natural, quick, and safe cough, congestion, and sore throat relief Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops! These are a staple in our cough and cold toolbox. They are easy to keep at home or take on the go, made with naturally derived ingredients, taste great, and work wonders!

Thieves Essential Oil-Infused Cough Drops are minty, spicy, and sweet without processed sugar, dyes, artificial flavors, or preservatives found in conventional cough drops. Infused with Cinnamon Bark, Peppermint, and Lemon essential oils, these menthol-based drops make soothing coughs and colds simple and tasty.

THIEVES HARD LOZENGES

Infused with Young Living's signature Thieves essential oil blend of Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Lemon essential oils, these lozenges are one of the things we reach for to keep our immune systems firing on a daily basis! The Thieves Hard Lozenges are a sugar-free dietary supplement to add to your daily wellness regimen with more of a cinnamon taste than a menthol one.We use these daily when we need a lozenge, when we travel to bolster our immune systems, and sometimes in place of the Thieves Cough Drops when we are out or if someone doesn't want the strong menthol taste of the drops (but it's that menthol that helps open the airways and soothe the throat!).
