6 Ways to Use Frankincense Essential Oil + a Giveaway

August 4, 2014 By Karen Sorenson

It’s been months since I started using my Premium Starter Kit and a few of the oils instantly became my favorites.  Young Living Frankincense Essential Oil is definitely a great everyday oil.  I used Frankincense Essential Oil to get rid of a burn scar that I had and also to uplift my spirits.

Everyday Essential Oils

I started with the Young Living premium starter kit because it was the best value and it would give me a chance to experience some of the most common essential oils.   Along with the diffuser, the premium starter kit includes the basic ten everyday essential oils: Thieves, Joy, Valor, Purification, Lemon, PanAway, Frankincense, Peppermint, Peace & Calming and Lavender.  

I have been using my Essential Oils Pocket Reference to learn all of the different ways to use the Everyday Essential Oils.  The EOPR happens to be my free gift to those that become a wholesale member with a Premium Starter Kit (Learn more here).  

Frankincense Essential Oil

Frankincense is considered the “holy anointing oil” and was valued more than gold during ancient times.  Only those with great wealth and abundance possessed it.  It is mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records, Ebers Papyrus, an ancient Egyptian list of 877 prescriptions and recipes.   (Source)

Ways to Use Frankincense Essential Oil

  • Concentration:  When I’m feeling distracted I use 1-2 drops of Frankincense on my temples and the back of my neck.
  • Blisters: Whenever I get a blister I mix 1 drop of Frankincense with 1 drop of coconut oil and apply it to the blister a few times a day until it’s gone.
  • Insect Bites:  I combine Frankincense with Lavender and apply it to any bug bites I get to reduce the redness and itchiness.
  • Brittle Fingernails:  I apply 1 drop of Frankincense to the base of my nails when they are breaking easily and feeling brittle.
  • Uplifting: Whenever I need to feel uplifted, I diffuse Frankincense in my Home Diffuser that comes in the Premium Starter Kit to boost my mood.
  • Scars and Skin Spots:  I apply both Frankincense and Lavender to any scars or skin spots twice a day until it fades.  This really helped a burn scar I had on my arm!

Way to Use Frankincense Essential Oil

 

Because I love Frankincense Essential Oil so much I decided to giveaway a 5 mL bottle.  The good news about essential oils is that a little goes a long way (1-2 drops per application) so the bottles can last quite a while. Due to the cost for me to ship the prize, the Young Living Frankincense Essential Oil giveaway will be limited to U.S. residents only.  Young Living does ship to certain countries outside of the United States so if you would like to try using essential oils consider becoming a distributor/wholesale member.  Giveaway ends August 9, 2014 at 12:00 AM ET.
