Frankincense—Truth

Ah, Frankincense... How do I sum this up? Frankincense is of the Boswellia genus and dōTERRA sources four different species to make the powerful Frankincense essential oil. Frankincense trees grow in desolate areas and their ability to help people thrive comes in part from their tenacity in living and healing themselves.

In essential oil circles it's known as "my buddy Frank" because it's helpful for almost everything. To go through the whole list would take much more space than a social media post, but if you're curious, reach out to me or get the Modern Essentials Plus app for your phone.

Boswellia is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and these are key in its ability to support lots of health concerns. It's also known as the Oil of Truth. It helps us connect our soul with our inner light, supports wisdom and spiritual openness, and helps us feel more connected to father figures and divine masculinity.

It boosts the benefits of any oil it's paired with, so I love adding it to any diffuser blend for extra grounding and centering. It's also a great one to take daily... It's woodsy flavor is soothing and boosting. And it's great on the skin to shift the mood or soothe irritation. Frankincense is an oil to always have close by and I'm happy to help you have it!
