Frankincense Essential Oil
Whichever one you choose, its mind-clearing abilities are particularly beneficial for yoga and meditation practices, but it also can help keep your breathing clear and your lungs happy. Find out all the ways you can incorporate Frankincense into your life:
Clear Breathing
One of the first incredible uses is that Frankincense supports your respiratory system and promotes clear breathing. For a blend that helps promote clear breathing, try adding three drops Frankincense Serrata, two drops Eucalyptus Globulus, one drop Rosemary, and one drop Spruce or Fir Needle in your diffuser.
Glowing Skin
Add a few drops to your favorite carrier oil to use as a rejuvenating skin cream. Adding Frankincense into your skincare routine as an anti-aging treatment can help improve skin elasticity. We recommend a dilution of 1% for a facial application or 3-5% for body application.
Relieve Aching Joints
Add this essential oil to your favorite carrier oil for a soothing remedy that can help relieve the aching joint pain. For some who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, Frankincense can help reduce inflammation. As a result, we recommend a maximum dilution of 3% for any topical application.
