How to use

Massage:

Frankincense essential oil can be used for massages. Mix 2-3 drops of the essential oil into a carrier oil and blend it well.

Baths:

Add 4-5 drops of Frankincense essential oil to your bathtub or 3-4 drops to your bucket and swish the water gently to mix the oil well. If you have dry skin, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil along with the essential oil.

Diffuser:

Use 4-5 drops of Frankincense essential oil in a diffuser bowl filled with three-quarters of water. Essential oils should never be burnt directly as the chemical structure can get changed with incineration.

Method

• For hot compresses, add 6-10 drops of Frankincense essential oil to half a pint of hot water. Soak a towel into the bowl and place it over the area.

• For a facial massage, add 2 drops of Frankincense essential oil with Jojoba oil/ wheat germ oil/ almond oil and massage gently. After massaging with this place a hot towel over your face for oil to seep in better and relax further.

• Frankincense essential oil helps to concentrate better. Put 1-2 drops on cotton and place it on your workstation. For meditation purposes, put it in a diffuser.
