Not only was it one of the three gifts brought to Jesus by the wise men, but this oil is also well known for its warm and sweet scent. Young Living’s Frankincense essential oil stands on its own & pairs well to enhance the effects of other oils when it is mixed. Frankincense is a gentle oil and safe for young children. In fact, many will apply a drop of frankincense on the top of the head and down the spine of their newborn directly after birth in order to help with spinal alignment. There are even studies that have shown this oil can help with the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, Lou Gehrig’s, cancer, liver cirrhosis, and many other diseases. Wow!
