Benefits of using Frankincense:
Research shows it can rewrite dysfunctional cells. We use as an expectorant, immunostimulant, for bites, allergies, inflammation, stress, warts, respiratory infections...once "used to treat every conceivable ill known to man." Frankincense has been used on newborns in nearly every species after normal or traumatic births. It is grounding. On the flip side it can also bring closure to someone in transition as death knocks on their door, making it easier for the individual (or animal) and those caring for them. Frankincense appears to magnify and enhance the effects of other essential oils it is synergistically paired or layered with.
