The Gift of Frankincense

 

The Gift of Frankincense

Frankincense truly is a gift. When I think of all the wonderful benefits that it has, then it almost doesn’t make “cense” not to have it in your home. It really does help with almost any ailment, bump, scratch and symptom.

Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh were gifts to Jesus from the wise men when He was born. Surely gifts to the King from wise men must carry some significant weight? Now whether it was the oil or the resin it doesn’t matter, because this unique, woody, spicy and earthy gift can definitely make a positive impact on anyone’s health.

Frankincense oil is also known as Olibanum and is made from the resin of the Boswellia tree. Resin is a gum-like tree sap that has dried to an almost crystal-like substance. The oil comes from the sap.

I challenge you to make a tick next to the star where your family’s needs are;

*Nasal congestion

*Sore throat

*Anti-inflammatory

*Asthma, bronchitis, mucus buildup

*Anxiety, stress, tension

*Helps clear up colds and flu

*Effective cancer fighting substance

*Decreases fine lines and wrinkles

*Calming and grounding

*Hay fever

*Pain relief

*Osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis relief

*Helps the brain with memory and Dementia

*Headache and migraine relief

I know! I told you that it helps for a myriad of complaints! We have been using Frankincense oil and resin for a few years now, and I really can’t see how we lived without it. We take a piece of resin everyday along with some kind of green powder such as BarleyLife. Click on the link to order BarleyLife powder or capsules here; myaimstore.com/healthamplified

Sometimes we suck and chew on the resin or we swallow it with some water. You start with a match stick tip size and can work your way up to 1 cm piece. I suggest sucking your resin if you suffer from sinus issues, hay fever, tooth decay or gum disease, sore or scratchy throat and blocked or painful ears.

The Ancient Biblical Oil that I prefer is their Frankincense Oil Blend that is a 3% blend in cold pressed olive oil. It is easy to use without prior blending, and kids can also use it straight away. The oils also come in concentrate that still needs to be blended in a carrier oil if you prefer to mix your own.

A very interesting study was done to prove that Frankincense has such strong anti-bacterial properties. A piece of resin was chewed, saliva samples then indicated reduced numbers of microbes. Amazing!

Best of all, it helps to balance hormones and reduce symptoms of PMS, reducing menstrual cramping, nausea, headaches and mood swings. And definitely not just for the ladies if you know what I mean…

For those struggling to break free from the grips of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and any inflammatory gut conditions, this will assist your body on its way to recovery.  

Yes, the Frankincense oil blend is safe to use during pregnancy. A wonderful gift from above for mommies to be. There are quite a few testimonies where it helped ladies with their labour management. Rub over hip and pelvic joints and bones, lower back, stomach and the temples.

Remember to make full use of the oil by cupping your hands and inhaling deeply after an oil application.

I strongly recommend using your Frankincense resin in the morning and applying the oil at night. It will assist you in having a good night’s sleep. If you have a sore throat or some underlying issue, I suggest taking the resin twice a day.

Don’t forget your beauty routine ladies. With its anti-aging benefits and anxiety, stress and tension fighting properties, you’ll definitely be treated from the inside and out. Resin from the inside and a little oil on your face at night. It sounds like a win win to me!
