Frankincense Essential Oil

Calming, supportive and... wrinkle-reducing (Yay!)

Frankincense is also the most well-known wrinkle reducer and skin repair oil in aromatherapy... good for eczema and scarring.

Frankincense is helpful for a host of emotional states such as fear, insecurity, feelings of loss or rejection, lack of motivation or self-worth, self-crticism, shame and nightmares... to name a few.

Emotionally speaking, frankincense builds you up and stabilizies you.

The other great thing about frankincense is that its scent is suitable for men and women - not overly floral or girly. It's my all-time favorite oil. No night-time recipe should be without it!

Botanical Name and Characteristics

Growing about 20 feet tall, the frankincense tree has white flowers. Its resin is steam distilled to create the essential oil.

Cautions

Buy Frankincense Essential Oil

I always recommend Mountain Rose first because I like and trust them. Their quality is excellent, their prices are good, and many of their essential oils are organic (and all of them are therapeutic grade.)

Or you could shop for frankincense oil at Amazon. They have a number of different brands available at a variety of prices. (Just remember, you get what you pay for.) Happy hunting!

In terms of recommending suppliers, there's lots of really good suppliers out there, but I keep balking at the price. I can't in good conscience send you to a supplier whose quality is similar to Mountain Rose but who charges considerably (or even a little) more. I wouldn't do it myself, and I won't recommend it to you.

Which brings me to another point. A small commmission is sent to Easy-Aromatherapy-Recipes.com each time you buy from these suppliers by clicking on one of my links to their website.
