A Magical Portal Oil

You know how there are these things you discover later in life and think, how did I not know about this?! And if I had, how my life would have vastly improved? Enter Frankincense. Not only is it a true powerhouse in terms of breast health benefits but it offers so many other incredible healing effects. I consider this oil to be in my top 5 essential oils and have a small bottle from Living Libations (see in Shop below) on hand at all times.

Frankincense comes in resin from obtained from cuts made from the Boswellia carteri tree.It’s been used for over five thousand years. The Egyptians used it for embalming and during biblical times the burning of frankincense symbolized prayer rising to the heavens like smoke. The name frankincense is derived from an old French phrase, “Fran encens” which means “high quality incense”. It’s known as a portal oil : “Frankincense is used to welcome us to a new place and open us to transitions”.
