Frankincense  the Wonder Oil/Resin

2/13/2021

TThere is an interesting Frankincense essential oil some retail stores are selling. They call it the “wonder” oil, They claim mixing a bunch of different species of resin will make you feel better. Well you see this is a problem because each species has a different therapeutic purpose. It is like mixing Apples and oranges. Boswellia cateri is good for the skin, while Boswellia frereana good for pain, then i saw Boswellia serrata mixed in while it is good for pain it has contradictions if on blood thinners or taking heart medicine. Boswellia papyrifera is for meditation and calming, and is some can create hallucinations.

This is a terrible mix And mostly a marketing tool. How many drops of each do you know is it in the bottle? These companies are not going to tell you that part. So you have no idea exactly what you’re getting. And you are mixing pain, Something for the skin and then anxiety and calming oils together. This to me does not work.

As an aromatherapist, I mix blends together but it is done for a purpose. So let’s say you have an anxiety problem. We would take a few plant oils And put them together that is solely for anxiety. I might mix Boswellia neglecta which is excellent for stress, calming and anxiety and mix it it with sweet orange, and maybe one more like petitgrain. for pain, i would do Boswellia frereana or sacra and mix it with balsam copaiba or plai For skin conditions i would mix Boswellia cateri with carrots seed oil or manuka oil. All these oils go together they for a specific reason, Also because I am in aromatherapist I know how much of each oil I would put in a bottle especially if I’m using it for myself or a client. Mostly I would use them totally separately by themselves. Boswellia carteri Is wonderful or any type of skin condition, Boswellia frereana and sacra Is wonderful for pain and Boswellia neglecta for calming, stress and anxiety. You really do not have to mix them with anything else they can be use solely by themselves also.

The other problem is what works for one might not work for another. So it is way better to try one first before you go to another. Having them all mixed together you have no clue what is working for you. So please do not get caught up into marketing tools that say that this product is the all all. There were too many in the mix to do anything for a specific reason other than maybe smell nice. I sell the 3 you see in this picture. At least you know you’re getting the benefit of each oil. And if you are not sure which one to get, I am selling them in one mill bottles for you to try to see which one works.

Sustainability

Let’s talk about sustainably.
Climatic changes, increasingly unpredictable rainfalls and wildfires have ravaged parts of Africa. In addition, excessive resin tapping and increased demand for the essential oils have caused major concern. Frankincense resins throughout the world are greatly threatened by their ever-growing popularity, over-harvesting, and destructive natural forces.

The rise in popularity of essential oils has had the most devastating effect on the natural population of these trees. Local harvesters try to meet large-scale corporate demands from the essential oil companies; but harvesting much more than the trees can handle jeopardizes the trees’ well-being.
Once the tree is weakened from over-tapping, its immune system is compromised. This makes the trees vulnerable to disease and insects, which can destroy them.

Frankincense trees are becoming highly endangered, yet the demand and trade in this precious commodity has not slowed down. Studies show that if harvesters continue at this rate, in 50 years, Frankincense trees may be extinct.48

I have spoken to many farmers and leaders in Somaliland and Somali.  They told me that wild-harvesting
co-operatives in North Africa are aware of these problems and have begun to address them. They are working to spread knowledge and set up guidelines for healthy harvesting methods as quickly as possible.

When you purchase essential oils, make sure you buy them from reputable sources who conform to Fair Trade standards. Fair Trade companies teach their farmers to grow the trees and tap the resin in ways that are the healthiest for the trees. They also make sure the people who harvest the trees are given fair wages so they can feed their families.
