Frankincense Essential Oil 10 ml. Extract of Boswellia Serrata 100% Pure Undiluted Therapeutic Grade.

Plant Guru does it again, and at a great price point. Their Frankincense Essential Oil is spot on. The scent, the texture, the many many uses, I really love this and find it to be of high quality, and the real deal.Frankincense has plenty of uses, fundamentally, it promotes calmness, serenity and relaxation. These indications will always be present, no matter how frankincense is used, and for what. That's what I love so much about it.Frankincense essential oil is great for skin care and nearly everything related to skin; burns, rashes, cuts, scrapes, and oozing sores. It’s also fabulous for mature, prematurely aging, and environmentally challenged skin.To use as a night (or day) cream: just add a few drops to the base of your choice. This can be as simple as pure argan oil, or something like a bottle of Whole Foods unscented lotion, liquid soap, shower gel, or moisturizer. Or it can be as complex as you like. If you are making your own creams or oils, frankincense will be an excellent and appropriate addition. percentages will vary but a reasonable rule is about 6 drops per oz. That’s not set in stone! Here are some general rules regarding use on the skin:You can use more drops in lotions meant for body --they can be stronger. Use less drops for facial creams--they should be less strong, as your face is usually more sensitive. I know mine is.Making a blend for massage of a specific (limited) area--such as feet, hands, lower legs, can be stronger in general than an all around massage blend.Soaps, shampoos, conditioners (things that you wash off) can be stronger in general than products you leave on your skin.Frankincense oil can be added to pure water and used as a toner or refresher. You can add a little vodka to help it blend if you like! :) If you don’t have any way to mix them, don’t despair. The oil will float on top, yes, but all that means is you have to shake the bottle before you spray it.There is no need to add frankincense oil to your bath gel if you don’t want to, or have something other blend in there. Just add a few drops to your washcloth and run it over yourself during your final (hot water) rinse. The steam will infuse with frankincense and you will enjoy a quick and intense frankincense steam bath. refreshing and relaxing at the same time! This is actually my favorite use for the Plant Guru oil because I love the scent so much.For a quick frankincense bath, it’s best add the essential oil to something so it dissolves a bit in the bath water. Frankincense is not usually sensitizing for most people, but it depends on the amount and circumstances. Putting a few drops of neat essential oil in a hot bath is not recommended. For anyone. With any oil. Even old friends can burn you in that environment. The situation is that the oils, not being water soluble, remain on the surface of the hot water in original and exclusive drops. Your pores open from the hot water and the frankincense might cause an irritation. If it’s ever going to burn you, this would be the time. If you add frankincense oil to a vegetable or nut oil, meaning a massage oil, like olive oil, jojoba, coconut, etc, then it will still float on top of the water but it will be diluted in amount, if not in placement. Some people will be ok with this. Some not.You can add your frankincense to alcohol (vodka) or honey and this may be better, as it will dissolve, at least partly, in these mediums. Epsom salts work well too. If in doubt, stick with a couple of drops of the oil, maybe make the water not so hot, and don’t stay in for hours. Don’t forget, you can always take a normal bath, and rinse yourself with frankincense on a washcloth afterwards.Frankincense is a great mini-facial. Just take a pot or pan of boiling water, add a drop or two (no more) frankincense oil to it. Lean over it and cover your head with a towel, breathing deeply. Your lungs will be so happy! And your face will rejoice! You can also try one drop frankincense and one drop lavender. Since this combination is heavenly, I cannot recommend this enough!For compresses, fill a bowl with cool water (or warm water if desired) add a few (3-5) drops frankincense and toss a washcloth in, then wringing it out and placing the cool cloth on your forehead. This is so nice and relaxing in the heat and after exercise. A warm compress will be beneficial for sore muscles and anywhere heat is desired.Frankincense can help both joint and muscle soreness and pain. Just add it to your mix of oils, and that mix will depend on what you are mixing for. If you are a beginner mixing for yourself, consult an aromatherapy book. The practical application of this will depend on where you live. Frankincense will always be a valuable addition to your blend. In addition to its anti-inflammatory property, it will calm, soothe and relax you, don’t forget!There is a lot of talk these days about frankincense being a cure for stomach tumors. Let’s get something straight--this research may or may not be conclusive, but it’s research on a constituent of frankincense called boswellic acid.Boswellic acid is a heavy molecule and doesn’t come over in distillation. If someone claims to have it in their oil, they are most likely mis-informed. It’s not in this oil, it’s not in anyone’s oil.Boswellic acid can be found in supplements, and also in the gum itself. The traditional Omani use for frankincense is to soothe the stomach. Very high quality green frankincense tears are soaked overnight in water and the water drunk upon waking. If you have access to green frankincense, this is a lovely thing to do. The water is delicious, enlivening and refreshing. And it will soothe your stomach for sure. Gas, nausea, billiousness, reflux, frankincense will help.Green frankincense is not usually available in stores unless they are very specialized. Green frankincense is expensive, rare and fleeting, with a comparatively short shelf life. Sunlight destroys the freshness and it will fade to white or yellow.You can have a drop or two of essential oil in honey if you like. It’s probably not the most efficient way to use frankincense, but you might enjoy it. Don’t do more than a drop or two, it’s very strong. You will probably sweat frankincense for a while after. Don’t drink a lot of it every day. Remember, it’s going to pass though your liver. No need to make your liver work too hard. As with all things, moderation.Remember, all frankincense oils are not alike. If you use for example, this Plant Guru one regularly and then use a different one, you may find some differences, including side effects.I received this product at a discount in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Really surprising how high quality this essential oil seems to be! I normally order DoTerra oils online to use in my professional massage practice, but their Frankincense is soooo expensive, I didn't want to order it again. A client of mine told me about this brand, which I had never heard of. Figured if it sucked i could return it, but it ended up being great! It's at least equivalent in quality to the Aura Cacia (health food store brand) frankincense, but was about 1/4 of the price! Also this is pure essential oil, not a dillution in carrier oil, like most of the cheaper brands tend to be.

I have only used YL because I believed they were the only brand that could deliver quality therapeutic grade healing oils, and boy was I wrong! As a single mom who practices holistic wellness, it’s important for me to have quality affordable products that I can use over and over again with a brand I could trust.I first looked up Plant Guru with the hopes of replacing the expensiveness of YL’s oils without skimping on the quality. I use this oil in my face moisturizers for acne, anti-again, and tightened pores. It has worked AMAZINGLY! The smell is awesome, the effects are awesome, and the price... UNBELIEVABLE! After careful research I came to conclude Plant Guru as my new go-to EO’s because of their in house and third party testing which gave me comfort in knowing their through unbiased purity verification, and also that they use word of mouth to advertise so that customers can afford their products because they don’t have a huge marketing overhead. That was important to me that they cared about making true wellness affordable for everyone! Love this stuff and this company!

Frankincense is the best essential oil out there - it's great for arthritic pain and other muscle cramps, etc. I highly recommend it!! And if you don't want to put it directly onto your skin, you can easily mix it with a lotion you use and rub it in. I strained my shoulder yesterday morning by moving the wrong way inadvertently... and performing certain reaching movements were very painful. I could tell it was going to be a long day! I mixed a few drops in with a fragrance free moisturizing lotion I use and rubbed it into my shoulder, over, under, on the back of my shoulder and a little ways down my arm. A few minutes later, I grabbed my purse, zipped out the door, no pain, in fact I had already forgotten the pain! and I didn't think about it again until just now as I'm still pain free. This stuff is great. I understand why it was one of the gifts the three Maji brought to the manger way back in the day! :)

I am really ignorant about essential oils, particularly Frankincense, but I can't wait to study it on Google. The reason I am writing this review within a few days of receiving my order of Frankincense is because I have read a few reviews that complain of the odor. Personally, I find the aroma of Plant Guru's Frankincense absolutely captivating. It seems to be a smoky, peaty, almost musky, pleasing aroma that I would associate with a fragrance for men, yet there is something almost feminine about it too! Whatever it is, it is mysterious, delicious and did I say captivating? Now on to research it's uses.By the way, the price was reasonable, it arrived on time in an appropriate package.I do wish that Plant Guru had included a pamphlet speaking to it's uses and how to get it out of the bottle. Silly me, I tried to take the "stopper" out and decided I had better have my husband take a look at it before I broke it. I guess I was looking for an eye dropper? So, no complaints, just a suggestion for we newbies~
