Frankincense

Hey everyone! I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. I know I have been a little late in posting anything, but I went back home for the holidays and I have been so busy! Now that its the new year though, I am back and ready to type! So today when I woke up and looked in the mirror, I pretty much rushed to my computer to type this post!

I usually try to be a pretty healthy person, but with the holidays and all the lovely fatty foods that come with them that's pretty much been totally ruined the last few months. So since I have been eating so many bad things, I have been suffering from the dreaded break outs on my face and nose. Well yesterday I woke up to find the WORST pimple ever right smack in the middle of my nose. It was right at the top of the bridge in between my eyes and was so red. I had to go all day through work with this huge red spot. It was horrible! So last night before bed I dabbed the wretched red bump with a drop of Frankincense. This morning I went and peaked into the mirror and lo and behold it was almost entirely gone! The size had drastically cleared to the point where it was basically flat and the color had gone from a bright red to a light barely there pink! I am certain that after one more night of doing this, it will be totally gone!

Now personally I don't LOVE the scent of Frankincense, but I am, not saying it's a bad smell as my friend loves it. I will say I like it more when its diffused instead of applied directly or when its mixed with another EO or carrier oil. To me though the health benefits outweigh the scent. Frankincense is FANTASTIC and has so many different uses. Its great for massage, meditation, and healthy skin. I have also heard of many other great ways to use it from the EO community! For instance, I just made a combination using Frankincense along with some other oils to promote immune support and to help avoid sickness during the flu season! I use it every day and, so far, no sickness.

Now for another testimony lol. I also used Frankincense on my little brother when I went home for the holidays. He is 15 and was suffering from teen acne. He had quite a few blemishes across his forehead and nose. As his sibling, I felt it my duty to force him to apply Frankincense before bed each night to his problem areas. Within the week, his face had totally cleared up!

Now I will say, since Frankincense is so versatile for different health benefits and a little harder to extract than other oils, it is a little more on the expensive side. It runs around $70 to $80 for a bottle. However, if you are on a budget like me it is a lot more economical to purchase Frankincense by purchasing the Premium Starter Kit! They start at $160 and not only do you get Frankincense, but you also get 10 other super helpful oils and a diffuser. They last a really long time, you get a lot more bang for your buck, and you have the benefit of receiving wholesale prices when you reorder anything.

Thieves

Hope everyone is having a good day! Today I have decided to tell you a little about THIEVES which is quickly becoming one of my favorite oils from my YL Starter Kit! 


I thought with cold and flu season here this would be a great one to share. Thieves is a special blend that comes from YL. It is a great immune system supporter. What I have done has been to dilute the Thieves (or you can apply it directly however I do recommend diluting in either coconut oil or grapeseed oil) into a glass roller bottle. Each night before bed I apply the Thieves to the bottoms of my feet. Almost every organ is connected to an area of the foot and this allows for the thieves to really work its magic! 

I have also used Thieves when I have felt something coming on like headache, scratchy throat, etc. I just put a drop of straight Thieves undiluted on the tip of my finger and rub it on the roof of my mouth and whatever was ailing me got better by the next day. It doesn't taste bad, similar to cinnamon probably from the cloves. I really feel like this oil is a great one to use daily to keep up your health. 

Because of its "purifying" properties, which almost act as a disinfectant in my experience, YL has come out with many different Thieves products and can also be purchased as one of the starter kits!
