The popularity of Frankincense, a botanical discovered more than three millennia ago, is experiencing a resurgence.

Long recognized for its anti-inflammatory benefits, Boswellia, or frankincense, dates back to ancient India and Egypt. Frankincense is one of my favorite oils, as it is powerful and yet gentle.
Frankincense has been researched for anti-cancer activity but has also been found to be beneficial for depression and anxiety, brain conditions, immune system stimulation and regulation, and more. Frankincense can be applied topically to your dog or cat or can be diffused using an essential oil diffuser.
My favorite uses or Frankincense
Promote feelings of peace, relaxation, and satisfaction: Add a few drops of frankincense oil to your dog’s bath for stress relief. Give your dog or cat a massage with Frankincense oil to help decrease anxiety or stress or diffuse Frankincense using an essential oil diffuser to create a peaceful environment in your home or car. Combine Frankincense with Wild Orange or Lavender essential oils to create a great calming blend.
Ease Digestion: Sometimes our dogs/cats can suffer from digestive challenges. Apply Frankincense oil to your companion’s torso to help relieve digestive discomfort.
Heal the Skin: Frankincense oil can help with wound healing, may decrease the appearance of scars, and may help with the healing of surgical wounds. Combine Frankincense, Helichrysum, and Lavender with Fractionated Coconut oil and apply to the affected area to promote healing.
Take a Deep Breath: Promote easeful breathing with Frankincense. If you dog or cat seems congested apply Frankincense to their torso or diffuse in the air to help clear the sinuses, decrease phlegm and open up your dog or cat’s airways.
Moving with Ease: To improve circulation and decrease muscle or joint discomfort, related to increased activity/exercise or if your companion has age related stiffness, massage Frankincense oil on your dog or cat’s tender areas to increase mobility.
