I got this idea from an obscure YL testimonial...a woman who had

severe IBS (colon problems) and cured it using frankincense implants.

I was having bladder problems (interstitial cystitis) and immunity

problems (getting sick a lot) as well as digestive problems. I did

find that the frankincense had an amazing affect on my nervous

system, unlike anything I have experienced with EOs or anything else.

I felt much calmer, more balanced...really a profound difference on

the days after I tried it (plus more alert on arising).

 

Regarding safety...seems that the YL people think that EOs in any

amount and form of ingestion are safe. Maybe they are compared to

pharmaceuticals, I don't know. You and Martin seem to have more

concerns regarding safety. Some herbs have proven to be dangerous

(e.g. ephedra) so I guess EOs could be as well. I have generally

regarded EOs as safe relative to the various poisons of modern life

(coffee, pizza, air polution, etc. etc.).
