Essential Oil Education

Frankincense was valued more than gold by both kings and peasants alike and was considered a sign of great wealth in the ancient world. The kings actually kept the location of their frankincese trees a secret for fear that thieves would find them. And when they did and were caught, their hands would be chopped off! That’s how seriously they took their frankincense.

Frankincense is probably the most referred to oil and incense in the Bible yet the Hebrews were not the only people to recognize its physical, emotional and spiritual qualities. The Egyptian women burnt the resins and applied it to their eyes which actually protected them from eye diseases. The resins placed on hot coals would be used to fumigate their homes and places of business. It was used to enhance meditation and to elevate spiritual consciousness.

The frankincense trail lasted for well over a thousand years and carried literally tons and tons of resins through the desert across Persia, Lebanon, Israel and down into Egypt. It was a very lucrative trade for those who possessed these ancient trees.

How can frankincense aid you in bringing more abundance into your life? The oil is high in terpenes which cross the blood brain barrier in the brain. It can help stimulate the limbic system as well as the hypothalamus, pineal and the pituitary glands. It is used for cancer, depression, allergies, headaches, bronchitis, herpes, tonsillitis, typhoid, warts, brain damage and can stimulate the body’s production of white blood cells. Simply put–when we are healthy physically emotionally and spiritually, more abundance flows into our life!
