This holiday season, Frankincense is your secret weapon—here are 10 ways to use it!
Seasonal Immune Support
Okay, let me tell you about my not-so-secret weapon for getting through the holiday madness: Frankincense. You know how the Wise Men brought it as a gift for baby Jesus? Turns out, they weren’t just being fancy—this oil is pure gold for your health and sanity.
Here’s where it gets science-y (but stick with me, I promise this is cool): Frankincense is made from the resin of the Boswellia tree, and it’s loaded with natural compounds called boswellic acids. These little guys are known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-supporting properties. Think of them as your body’s first responders, swooping in to help your cells fight off all the seasonal germs flying around. A single drop on the bottoms of your feet each day is like giving your immune system a daily high-five.
But it doesn’t stop there. Studies show Frankincense may also support healthy cellular function, which is a fancy way of saying it helps your body work the way it’s supposed to—whether that’s keeping your skin glowing, calming inflammation, or even helping your body respond better to stress. (And let’s be real, what mom isn’t stressed this time of year?) Rubbing it on your wrists or diffusing it can actually help reduce cortisol levels—the stress hormone that makes us snap when our kids ask for hot chocolate for the fifth time in an hour.
It’s no wonder they call Frankincense the king of oils. For me, it’s the MVP of my wellness routine—especially during the holidays when my immune system and my patience are both working overtime.
Stress
Alright, let’s talk stress—because we all know it’s practically a second job. 😅 After a crazy day, it’s easy to feel like your brain is running a marathon, and your body’s just trying to keep up.
Here’s the thing: Stress messes with our nervous system, and over time, it can throw everything off—our sleep, our mood, even our immune system (hello, sick days). But here’s where Frankincense comes in. It’s not just for fancy rituals—it’s got some real science behind it. Frankincense has been shown to support the body’s natural ability to relax and reduce tension. When you rub just one drop on the back of your neck, you’re helping to calm your nervous system, letting you feel more centered and less frazzled. 🙌
And, because I know you need all the relaxation you can get, let’s level it up. After a hectic day (or let’s be honest, the whole week), throw 1 drop of Frankincense and 1 drop of Lavender in a warm bath. Lavender’s soothing effects on your body are well-documented—it actually helps to activate your parasympathetic nervous system, which is the part of you responsible for “rest and digest.” Basically, it helps you hit the reset button.
It’s like a mini spa treatment at home, minus the pricey price tag. So go ahead, give yourself a moment to breathe, relax, and remember—you’re doing great. 🌸
Not Feeling Well
Let’s talk about that dreaded “not feeling well” moment. We’ve all been there—when one kid is sneezing, another is coughing, and you’re wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. 😷
Here’s a little trick I’ve learned that’s like having a personal wellness support squad in a bottle (without the drama). You know how your immune system is always working hard behind the scenes? Well, these oils are here to back it up.
Grab a 10ml glass roller bottle and fill it with 10 drops each of Frankincense, OnGuard, Lemon, Tea Tree, Copaiba, and Oregano. These oils are like a super team for your immune system. Here’s why:
Frankincense: This oil is like the calm, wise parent of the group. It helps support your body’s natural ability to deal with stress and inflammation, which are common when you're feeling off. It’s been used for centuries for a reason.
OnGuard: Think of this as your immune system’s bodyguard. It helps support your body’s natural defense mechanisms, which is exactly what you need when you’re under the weather.
Lemon: This one’s refreshing, and it helps detox the body by supporting the liver. It’s also great at helping to clear out all those yucky germs hanging around.
Tea Tree: A true multitasker! It has natural cleansing properties that support your body’s ability to fight off things trying to bring you down.
Copaiba: It’s like the oil that’s quietly making everything work better. Copaiba supports your body’s natural anti-inflammatory response, which can help when you're feeling run down.
Oregano: Don’t be scared—it’s strong, but it’s one of nature’s most potent immune supporters. It’s perfect for giving your body the boost it needs when things aren’t quite right.
Now, fill the rest of the roller with Fractionated Coconut Oil to dilute it and help anchor it to the skin so it doesn't evaporate as quickly (and also absorbs better). Then, just rub a few swipes of this blend on the bottoms of your feet every day. Yep, the bottoms of your feet—because your feet have a lot of nerve endings that help the oils absorb quickly into your system. (Who knew, right? 😜)
Do this daily, and give your immune system some extra support. It’s like giving your body a little high-five to keep doing its job, so you can feel better and get back to taking care of everything else. 👏🦸♀️
Wrinkles, Scars & Blemishes
Let’s talk skin. Because let’s face it—between the sleepless nights, stress, and all the things we juggle, our skin doesn’t always get the memo to “stay flawless.” 😅 But, I’ve got a little secret that’s actually science-backed, and it’s way easier than you think.
If you’re dealing with wrinkles, scars, or those stubborn blemishes that just won’t quit, here’s a little hack: Add 1 drop of Frankincense to your favorite moisturizer or face cream. Frankincense is a powerhouse when it comes to skin. It's been used for centuries (yep, even Cleopatra was a fan), and it has some serious science behind it. It helps promote healthy cell turnover and encourages your skin to repair itself—meaning it can help smooth out those lines and fade scars over time.
So, what’s happening in your skin when you use it? Frankincense contains compounds that can help reduce inflammation and support the skin’s natural ability to heal. It also encourages the production of new skin cells, so those blemishes and scars have a chance to fade away. Think of it as giving your skin a gentle nudge to get back to its best self. 🌟
Now, just rub it in like you normally would, and voilà! You’re giving your skin a little boost without the need for a fancy, chemical-filled treatment. Plus, it’s safe and natural—so no worries about what you're putting on your face. 🙌
Give it a try, and let me know how it goes. You might just find that your skin's new BFF was already sitting in your bathroom cabinet! 💁♀️✨
Support Inflammation
Between kids' tantrums and our never-ending to-do list, our bodies sometimes get a little inflamed from all the hustle.
Here’s a simple fix: Rub 1-2 drops of Frankincense on the bottoms of your feet or right onto the area that’s feeling sore or swollen. Frankincense isn’t just for meditation—it’s a total anti-inflammatory superstar. It supports your body’s natural ability to reduce inflammation, which is great for calming down that achy, tight feeling.
So, how does it work? Frankincense helps promote healthy cellular function and reduces the signals that tell your body, “Hey, something’s inflamed here!” That means less discomfort and more feeling like yourself. 🙌
Just rub it in, relax, and let Frankincense do its magic. Your body (and feet) will thank you! 🌿
Sleep
If you’re like me, you’ve probably tried everything to get a full night’s rest. 😴 Here’s a little secret I’ve been using: Diffuse 2 drops of Lavender and 2 drops of Frankincense in your room before bed.
Lavender is famous for its calming and soothing properties, helping your body relax and signaling that it’s time to wind down. Frankincense is the perfect sidekick—it supports deep relaxation and promotes a peaceful environment, calming the mind and reducing stress.
Why does this combo work? Lavender helps regulate your nervous system, and Frankincense supports deeper, restorative sleep by encouraging relaxation on a deeper level. So, while you sleep, your body can truly rest and recharge
Set it up before bed, snuggle in, and let these oils help create the peaceful, quiet space you deserve. 🌙✨
Support quick recovery after cuts or burns
When a little accident happens—because we all know how quickly kids (and let's be honest, we) can end up with a cut or burn. 😬
Here’s a quick fix to help speed up healing: Combine 1 drop of Frankincense with 1 tablespoon of Fractionated Coconut Oil and gently rub it directly onto the cut or burn.
Why does this work? Frankincense has powerful skin-healing properties—it helps reduce inflammation and encourages healthy cell regeneration, which can speed up the healing process. Plus, when you mix it with Fractionated Coconut Oil, you're giving your skin a nourishing boost, making it easier for those healing cells to do their job.
It’s like giving your skin a little extra TLC, and in turn, it’ll thank you by healing faster. Keep this little blend on hand for those oops moments! 🌱💧
Head tension
We all know that when a headache hits, it feels like the whole world is on pause, right? 😣 But here’s a trick that’s easy and works fast: Place 1 drop of Frankincense onto your thumb, then press your thumb to the roof of your mouth and hold for about 20 seconds.
Why does this work? Frankincense helps relax the blood vessels that run through your head, including the ones at the roof of your mouth. By pressing there, you're signaling your body to release that tension. It’s like giving your head a mini reset button—calming down the inflammation and relaxing those tight muscles that are causing the discomfort.
Give it a try next time you feel a headache coming on—you’ll be amazed at how quickly it can work! 🌿
Daily Thyroid Support
If you’ve been feeling a bit off lately—tired, moody, or struggling with energy—it could be your thyroid not functioning at its best. The good news? Frankincense is here to help. This powerful oil supports the body’s natural processes, including those that help keep your thyroid in balance. It’s like giving your thyroid a little TLC from the inside out. 🌿
Here’s a great blend to try: Combine 10 drops each of Frankincense, Myrrh, Lemongrass, Basil, and Marjoram in a 10 ml glass roller ball. Fill the rest of the bottle with Fractionated Coconut Oil. Then, apply a few swipes to the bottoms of your feet each day.
Why does this work? Frankincense helps balance the body’s inflammation and supports healthy cellular function, which is crucial for thyroid health. When paired with Myrrh, Lemongrass, Basil, and Marjoram, you’ve got a blend that’s not only soothing but also provides targeted support to your thyroid and overall wellness.
So, next time you’re feeling a little “off,” give this blend a try. It’s a simple, natural way to give your thyroid the support it deserves. 🌱✨
Balancing Hormone Levels
Hormones are one of those little things that can throw everything off! 😅 Whether it's stress, PMS, or just the rollercoaster of daily life, keeping your hormones in check can make a big difference in how you feel
Here’s an easy trick: Rub 1 drop of Frankincense on the bottoms of your feet each day.
Why does this work? Frankincense is super powerful when it comes to supporting your body’s natural balance. It helps promote relaxation and can support the endocrine system, which is in charge of hormone production. By applying it to your feet (where your skin is thin and absorbs oils quickly), you're giving your body a natural boost to help keep your hormones in check and your mood steady. 🌿
So, if you’re feeling a bit out of sync, this simple ritual might just help bring you back to balance. Your hormones—and your sanity—will thank you! 🙌
