Melissa’s Botanicals Frankincense Essential Oil is extremely safe and can be used internally or directly on the skin.
Egyptians revered Frankincense, using it as part of their sacred embalming and mummifying rituals. Golden Jars were filled with Frankincense resin and placed in tombs, as the Egyptians believed they could take the powerful oil with them into the next world. While a lot has changed since the time of ancient Egypt, Frankincense’s incredible healing and anti-aging power has not.
T O U S E
Anti-aging – Frankincense has been used for its anti-aging benefits for centuries. It is a very gentle oil, like lavender, and can be used undiluted on the skin safely for all ages and all skin types. For dry, mature skin, it helps to soften fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and remove dark spots. Apply 4-5 drops to face and neck nightly as a facial serum before moisturizer. For best results, add 2 drops of each Lavender and Helichrysum.
Mouth – Frankincense and Myrrh have long been touted for their ability to heal mouth infections and promote gum health. The antiseptic qualities of Frankincense can help prevent bad breath, cavities, toothaches, mouth sores, and other infections. Add a drop to your toothpaste or just rub one drop around gums with 1 drop of peppermint! For fresh breath and a clean mouth, gargle 1 drop of Frankincense, 1 drop of peppermint and 1 of drop Lavender in 2 ounces of water.
Skin – Both an anti-fungal and an anti-bacterial, Frankincense heals skin infections, acne, boils, slow-healing wounds, scars, skin growths (tags), and distended varicose veins. For best results, combine Frankincense with Lavender or Compound Help!.
Hair – Add 5 drops Frankincense and 5 drops Rosemary cineol oil on a hair brush to stimulate growth and strengthen roots. Tip head upside down and brush 25 times with a hard-bristle brush.
