Essential Oils of the Bible: Frankincense

For thousands of years, essential oils have been an integral part of people's lives and health. At least 33 oils are mentioned in the Bible as fragrances, odors, ointments, aromas and perfumes. Oils such as Frankincense, Myrrh, Rosemary and Spikenard were used to anoint and heal the sick. They had many religious uses in anointing the sick and in religious rituals, but they were also used extensively in therapeutic and health matters.

Essential oils were an integral part of medicine at that time, and people used them as antibiotics, medicines and antiseptics. And there are many passages in the Bible mentioning essential oils. For example, when Mary used Spikenard to wash Jesus' feet and dried them with her hair, the house was filled with the scent of the balm. Mentions like this are very common in the Bible. Spikenard, for example, is an oil often mentioned in purification rituals. They mention that they bathed Jesus with Spikenard, placing it on top of his head and cleaning his feet.

For purification rituals, before marriage, the bride and groom also bathed with Spikenard and Frankincense. So, these are two oils that are often used in these rituals. It is very powerful, and we know that these are two oils with a very high vibration as well.

In this post, we will focus on the wonderful properties of Frankincense. This is the king of oils, used for over 2,000 years and was given as a gift to Jesus by the three wise men when he was born, along with Myrrh. At that time, Frankincense and Myrrh were worth more than gold, weight for weight. In other words, these two oils were considered a precisous medicine and antibiotic of the time.

We know that Frankincense has a very high vibration, so it is an oil that is often used to counteract negative emotions and stress, because it raises our vibrational frequency, helps support the immune system and prevents diseases. You can use it along your spine, on the soles of your feet or behind your ears for an immediate calming and soothing effect.

It has antitumor properties, is a natural neuroprotector, helps prevent brain degeneration, supports memory and supports our cognitive functions. And here in the United States we have the Lifelong Vitality Pack, which is a vitamin complex with 9 essential oils, one of which is Frankincense. And in if you are in Brazil or other country where the Lifelong Vitality Pack is not available, you can benefit by putting a drop of Frankincense under your tongue daily for cognitive support and immune strength.

Frankincense also offers anti-aging properties. You can dilute a drop in your favorite face cream to enhance its anti-wrinkle properties. In Egypt, Myrrh was also used to beautify the skin, as an anti-aging aid.

Emotionally, Frankincense is the oil of your truth, it is the oil that brings out our intrinsic truth from within us, that shows us our true purpose. The oil of enlightenment is the oil that connects us to the divine, or that aspect of our divinity. And that is why it is the oil that is also related to the seventh Chakra, the Crown Chakra, so it is very powerful. You can place one drop daily on the top of your head to obtain all these benefits.

It is an oil that evokes love, protection, spiritual connection. If you feel unprotected or have difficulty connecting with the divine, or difficulty in moments of prayer, whatever blockage in your relationship with the spiritual world, Frankincense can help you.

As always, do not forget the power of a diffuser. Use it daily in your environment, especially when you meditate, or you can put a drop in your hand and inhale deeply.
