Guest guest Posted February 17, 2000 Report Share Posted February 17, 2000 Hello everyone I was also getting withdrawal symptoms! So glad the list is back, and I'm pleased to have the discussion of a particular oil re-introduced. Frankincense: also Boswellia sacra It's brilliant in skin preparations as it smooths out wrinkles. There don't appear to be any contraindications when used correctly, it's even safe (in half dose) in pregnancy. It slows and deepens the breathing which is why it's traditionally always been used in religious practices, and is good for asthmatics and deep-seated respiratory complaints. Would be good during labour too. Also for genito-urinary disorders. Non physically, frankincense relates to the crown chakra, facilitating spiritual work such as prayer and meditation, especially combined with neroli. It also corresponds with the Bach Flower Remedy Walnut, which is used to help you through times of change. I often use frankincense for people who are going through such a change (eg change of job, divorce, moving house, puberty, menopause). It can also give a gentle kick up the backside to get you moving - ease of passage, you could say. Helen in Cape Town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2000 Report Share Posted February 19, 2000 Hi Helen! I'm interested in using frankincense to give me that proverbial kick in the rear... what's your recommendation, how many drops, in combination with anything else? I'm too new at aromatherapy to go galloping off on my own, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 > How do people from this newsgroup use it? > I have a blend I make with Frankincense, Patchouli & Lavender. It is heavenly. I use it in the bath and in a diffuser. Thank you all for sharing the information on this oil. It is always good to refresh my memory. <G> Paige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
