Gold. Frankincense. Myrrh.
Frankincense is a wonderful healing oil, so important it was one of the three gifts brought to Jesus from the three Kings. Today, this oil is just as important. Frankincense is found in Africa, India and the Middle East; coming from the Boswellia tree. The bark of this tree produces a fragrant resin used to help reduce stress and support the body; as well as being made into an incense.
Diffusing Frankincense essential oil is one of the easiest ways to use. It can also be added to an Epsom salt bath, applied topically and as an oral mouthwash or toothpaste. Oils should always be used with a carrier to prevent sensitivity that may occur if the oil is applied alone (such as: coconut, jojoba or sweet almond oil).
