Frankincense Boswellia is an ancient oil. It has many uses but is most noted for its anti-inflammatory properties. I personally use the frankincense blend to rub my achy hands. As a veteran massage therapist, my joints tend to get inflamed from time to time. I also love the blend to massage into my scalp. I use it right after wash and again a week or so before I wash again. A little goes a long way. I just put a few drops on my fingertips. Rub thumbs across fingertips, spreading the oil on all 8 fingertips, then I gently massage my scalp moving into different areas of my head until I feel the oil is spread evenly. Not only does the blend smell delightful, it feels like your scalp is having a spa day of its own. Not to mention, I've had such great results in regrowing my hair with this oil after severe damage and hair loss as well. It's simply made with only pure frankincense oil and a nut-free, organic carrier oil and nothing else.
I'm too embarrassed to post a before hair pic but the pic below is my hair now. You'll have to just take my word for it. Or not. My hair is still recovering but such a long way from where I started. The frankincense blend is also pictured below.
The pure frankincense boswellia I use on my troubled knee and behind my ears to help clear my sinuses when allergies arise. I put a single drop on my finger. I start from the top of my ear and run my finger down, behind my ear and end under my jaw, right over the lymph node in my neck. I do this behind both ears.
The behind my ear method also works to calm my anxiety.
