  • Managing stress - in a difficult situation, to calm the mind and ground yourself - rub one drop into the palm of you hands and inhale deeply.
  • Reducing inflammation - when applied topically. To use as a spot treatment apply 8 drops in 10 ml of your choice of carrier oil 
  • Boosting your immune system through inhalation  - i.e. use in a diffuser
  • Dry skin and ageing skin - add 2 or 3 drops to your night time moisturiser
  • Balancing hormones - through diffusing into the air or application via massage 4 drops in 10 ml of your choice of carrier oil.
  • Circulation issues - dilute 4 drops into 10 ml of your choice of carrier oil and gently massage into affected areas. 

Frankincense Essential Oil blends well with:
Sweet Orange and other citrus oils, myrrh, clary sage, lavender, cedarwood, cypress, geranium, patchouli, sandalwood, all the spice oils, vetiver

  • Diffuse: Add 5 to 10 drops to your chosen essential oil or blend to the diffuser or oil burner. Experiment with different combinations of oils and blends.  Don't forget to write each blend into a dedicated notebook along with your feedback. That way you'll get to know which blends are the most effective for you.
  • Bath: Do not add undiluted essential oils to your bathwater. Oil and water do not mix. Instead mix 3 to 5 drops of your chosen essential oils or blends  with a drop of shampoo/ detergent or in 20 ml (1 tablespoon) of full cream milk. Add this emulsion to the bathwater and slip in. The essential oils emulsifies in shampoo / detergent / milk and so distributes them more evenly throughout the bathwater.
  • Warm Compress: Place 1 drop of essential oil into a small bowl of warm water. Soak a washcloth in the water and wring out well. Place the washcloth over the face with eyes closed and relax, Repeat as needed. Do not exceed 1 drop of essential oil and use with caution when using strong essential oils and blends like Moon Haven's Clove, Cinnamon, Thieves Essential oils and blends.
  • Steam Shower Inhalation: Enjoy an aromatherapy shower by placing 3 to 5 drops of your choice of essential oils and /or blends on a washcloth on the floor of your shower. Turn off the fan and enjoy the essential oil laden steam while you shower. (Note: Do not place essential oils directly onto the shower tiles as the oils may break down the tile glaze)
  • Massage Oil: Create your own massage medium oil or cream. Use Moon Haven's Essential Oil Dilutions Chart to calculate the correct number of essential oil drops to add to your chosen carrier oil or massage cream. enjoy!
  • Direct Inhalation: Sometimes we just need a quick pick me up and that can mean just opening up your favourite essential oil or blend and taking a quick whiff. Alternatively, if you find the scent from an open bottle a little too strong for you, just smell the bottle cap. The result will be a gentler, more subtle fragrance.

THE FRANKINCENSE ESSENTIAL OIL STORY

Known for its anti-ageing and skin rejuvenating properties Frankincense is often used in the management of scars.

It is also wonderful for grounding and enhancing the meditative experience as well as assisting with respiratory conditions.
Frankincense for brain health, respiration and skin issues  
Frankincense has traditionally been used to help relieve stress related conditions. It is also known for its skin healing and rejuvenating properties and has been used for many years to help reduce the appearance of scar tissue.

Frankincense also can play a part in helping to relieve breathing difficulties and assists with lung congestion. Helps to promote a sense of peace and wellness.

At moon haven we love to promote the use of Frankincense Oil for anything to do with the brain -  from its function to its repair.

How is Frankincense harvested and extracted?

Deep incisions are made in the tree trunk and the bark peels off in narrow strips.

Over weeks a milky juice exudes and hardens on contact with the air, resulting in an oleo gum resin, from which the oil is extracted by steam distillation.

The word is from the French word 'Franc' meaning 'luxuriant' or 'real incense' and together with Myrrh, it was the first gum to be used as incense.

Resin has been shown to have some anti cancer properties

The resin has long been held in high esteem and compounds found within it have shown some anti-cancer benefits particularly with ovarian cancer. See this article here for an explanation: Fighting Ovarian Cancer with Frankincense Resin (Unfortunately these chemicals are not found in the essential oil in the same effective concentrations)
