Frankincense is the oldest recorded essential oil, dating back to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics listing 877 prescriptions and recipes for Frankincense alone. Young Living’s Frankincense comes from the species Boswelia Carteri. Young Living’s Sacred Frankincense is the newly released oil at 2010 Grand Convention coming from the Boswelia Sacra species, found to be even more therapeutic than the Carterii species. They are steam distilled from the resin of the Boswelia tree. Gary Young has been researching Frankincense for over 15 years and at 2010 convention released the documentary of his research: The One Gift. Frankincense translated means “Holy Wood”. Palo Santo is an oil harvested from a tree in Ecuador and has similar properties to Frankincense. Boswelia Frereana is a perfume grade frankincense typically used just for fragrance and has little therapeutic value.
Frankincense has been used for centuries and was often more valued than gold. It has been researched and found to be anti-tumoral, anti-inflammatory, an immune stimulant, anti-depressant and muscle relaxant. Our family has found it to be effective for viruses (place 1 drop on the tongue or massaged into the feet – using only Young Living food grade therapeutic essential oils for internal use). Frankincense also supports the respiratory tract and can be soothing when inhaled . It is one of the most powerful essential oils, yet is gentle enough for newborn babies. Frankincense is very high in sesquiterpenes which stimulate the limbic system of the brain – the center of memory and emotions, the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands.
Frankincense promotes meditation and spiritual awareness – not surprising that the Lord instructed Moses to burn Frankincense in the temple as it would keep worship focused on him and keep worshipers healthy. Frankincense helps you to focus and concentrate and has shown promising results in use with autism and ADHD/ADD treatments when combined with dietary changes. It is also healing to sun damaged skin.
Gary Young has found a source of frankincense in Oman where he also distills the frankincense. Frankincense is a most sought after oil and therefore, often diluted and adultered to extend a supply. Verify any source of frankincense to be sure it is comprised of only frankincense-no additives, from the Boswelia Carteri or Boswelia Sacra species which are offered by Young Living.
Frankincense is found in many Young Living products including the ART skincare line, Boswelia wrinkle cream, the oil blends: Abundance, Acceptance, Awaken, Believe, Brain Power, Egyptian Gold, Exodus II, Forgiveness, Gathering, Gratitude, Harmony, Highest Potential, Humility, ImmuPower,Inspiration, Into the Future, Longevity, 3 Wise Men, Trauma Life and Valor.
