Recently someone asked me how “other companies” sell Frankincense for less. That’s an easy answer. It’s not frankincense! At least not the quality they claim it to be because there is absolutely no way it can be. Here is some info on different forms of our friend Frank, the most mislabeled oil of all time.

😱😱😱😱

I saw a new Essential Oil Company crop up on my newsfeed this morning. They are bashing other companies "over priced" oils like Frankincense. Saying some pretty hurtful things too about those companies with Distributors who actually educate their members.

In particular there Frankincense is proudly labeled at $8 and is said that ALL their oils are farmed in India or one other country. (First of all Frankincense isn't FARMED anywhere. It literally grows in the wild in only 5 places in the world.)

Dr Cole Wooley, PHD has traveled the world studying plants and Essential Oils and Frankincense is one of the trees/oils that he is MOST fascinated with. This is what he has to say about our beloved Frank.

-------
"Essential Oil Quality – Correctly Labeled Frankincense
One of the most mislabeled essential oils is Frankincense. The FIRST reason Frankincense essential oils are mislabeled is because there is almost no control when it comes to identifying the oleogum-resin collected from the frankincense trees. The SECOND reason is the quality hierarchy of the major frankincense oleogum-resins – some are quite rare and expensive.

*************
The 5 Commercially Important Frankincense……………
There are 5 major species of FRANKINCENSE that are commercially important. The other 25 frankincense species are not internationally commercialized. All 30 species of frankincense grow wild throughout the world.

1. Boswellia sacra – Oman & Yemen
2. Boswellia carterii – Puntland (Somalia)
3. Boswellia serrata – India
4. Boswellia frereana – Somaliland (Somalia)
5. Boswellia papyrifera – Ethiopia

All these species of FRANKINCENSE grow in the wild! At present there are NO cultivated frankincense that are commercially productive. For at least 5000 years the HARVESTING of oleogum-resins from these 5 frankincense species has been performed by local tribes who found value in trading frankincense oleogum-resins to highly developed cultures: Indus Valley, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, Israel, Persia, India, Macedonia, Syria, Roman, Japan, and China.

Quality of Oleogum-Resins……………………………
SACRA – this sacred frankincense grows in the limestone mountains and hills along the southern coast of the Arabian Peninsula (western Oman and eastern Yemen) where the summer monsoon rains (from June 21 – September) turn the normally brown, dry desert into a lush, green landscape.
---700 tons of oleogum-resin collected each year
---typical price = $20-$100 per kilogram of oleogum-resin

CARTERII – this carterii frankincense tree grows in the hills and mountains of limestone in northern Somalia in a region that has declared national independence – Puntland. The long rainy season begins in April and ends in June. Carterii and Sacra trees look similar like related cousins.
---2,000 tons of oleogum-resin collected each year
---typical price = $15-$30 per kilogram of oleogum-resin

FREREANA – this frankincense grows in the higher mountains composed of limestone in north western Somalia in the newly declared independent country of Somaliland. The same long-rain monsoon season in April-June nourish the limestone-loving roots of frereana frankincense.
---1,200 tons of oleogum-resin collected each year
---typical price = $50-$200 per kilogram of oleogum-resin

SERRATA – this Indian frankincense tree grows in the warm semi-arid hills of south-central India where the monsoon rains of June-September each year nurtures these slow-growing trees.
---20,000 tons of oleogum-resin collected each year
---typical price = $3-$5 per kilogram of oleogum-resin

PAPYRIFERA – the most abundant frankincense tree in the world comes from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Sudan. Papyrifera grows in the upper hills and mountains of 3000-4000 feet in elevation. Exposed limestone hilly landscapes (from ancient ocean reefs) retain water micro-reservoirs that keep papyrifera frankincense trees vivant during hot-dry seasons.
---70,000 tons of oleogum-resin collected each year
---typical price = $1-$2 per kilogram of oleogum-resin

Relabeling Oleogum-resins to Increase Prices……………
The traders and brokers of oleogum-resins commonly relabel sacks of frankincense in order to manipulate a higher price. Papyrifera oleogum-resin looks similar to Carterii and Sacra oleogum-resin. Since Papyrifera oleogum-resin is so abundant and inexpensive it is common for sacks of Papyrifera oleogum-resin to be relabeled as “Carterii” or “Sacra”. Using these deceptive practices the traders and brokers quickly increase their profits.

Traders and Brokers can also increase their profits by mixing Papyrifera oleogum-resin with more expensive Carterii oleogum-resin. The mixed oleogum-resins are typically labeled as “Carterii”. It is not uncommon for a sack to contain 70-90% Papyrifera and only 10-30% Carterii oleogum-resin. Deception is a common practice for frankincense oleogum-resin traders and brokers. Their goal is make higher profits.

You might ask why these deceptive practices continue. The answer is that none of the European, American, and Asian Buyers know the difference in the oleogum-resins. So the deception continues.

Your Carterii & Sacra Frankincense are Traceable……….
Your Sacra frankincense oleogum-resin is collected in Oman and hydro-distilled into essential oil in Oman. Your Carterii frankincense oleogum-resin is collected in northern Somalia and hydro-distilled into essential oil in United Arab Emirates or the USA. Your frankincense essential oils can be traced to the tree locations with written records. There is no deception. There is no trickery. There is no relabeling. There is no mixing of frankincense species.

I’ve seen the trees, examined the oleogum-resins, and witnessed the hydro-distillation of your frankincense essential oils. I have verified the correct identify of your Carterii and Sacra frankincense essential oils by analyzing the molecules by GC-MS. You are in good hands with FRANKINCENSE.
---------

❤️Can you see the difference in price between the different species of Frank??? Particularly the price of that Indian and Ethiopian Frankincense resin???? THAT is why some companies can sell Frankincense Essential Oil for $7.99!!!!!

❤️Whether or not it is "pure" it is NOT comparable to the Sacra (Sacred) Frankincense or the Carterii (Regular Frankincense) that Young Living provides us. COMPLETE with documentation straight from the tree that it was taken from, NOT taking a resellers word for it as they deceptively try to swap in cheaper versions into their more expensive bags!!!! Oh and by the way, YL is the ONLY company allowed to go into Oman so we are the only company that offers Sacred Frankincense!!!!

✔️KNOW what you are getting
✔️KNOW the company you are getting it from

❤️Rest easy in the Seed to Seal Guarantee
❤️KNOW that you truly truly get what you pay for in life!!!!

👊Cheap Frank does not compare to the Good Stuff!!
I for one don't buy my oils for "smell goods" purposes.
I buy them for the benefits they bring to our bodies!!

immune health tip #5: Cleaning

I think with what is going on in our country right now, extra special attention needs to be paid on getting and keeping stuff clean. It seems that this particular virus can stay alive on surfaces for up to 9 days and in the air for about 3 hours. You already have heard to stop shaking people’s hands and do elbow bumps or bow or wave instead. But, what else can a person do to keep the virus away?

🤚🏻Proper and frequent hand washing (see my #2 tip i shared today about that.) And/or use a sanitizing hand purifier when you don’t have hot running water and soap to use.

🏠If you don’t feel well, STAY HOME. Avoid crowds.

This is largely a respiratory illness. To help stop the spread of germs:
1. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
2. Put your used tissue in a waste basket.
3. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve or inside your shirt, not your hands.

👟Take your shoes off when coming inside the house. Maybe leave them in the garage.

👕If you have been in crowds, ie shopping, consider taking off your clothes when you come home and change into clean clothes. Wash your hands, for sure!

💦Diffuse your home/car/offices with essential oils that will purify the air that you are breathing. We have our diffusers going all the time...

🧽Wipe down surfaces with something that will clean them well. I use Young Living’s Thieves Household Cleaner and Thieves Spray for cleaning all of these things below:

I clean all of the following surfaces at least daily, if not more often, during this time:

* kitchen countertops/islands/tables (several times a day). This is where you are probably eating so keep these areas clean!
* door k***s
* cell phones, land line phones, all phones
* keyboards (all of them: laptops, iPads, computers)
* gaming devices (PS4, etc)
* TV remote controls
* light switches
* toilet handles
* car steering wheels
* exteriors of purses, especially the bottoms of them

What I do for the more delicate items like my cell phone and laptop keyboards is, I spray some of the Thieves Household Cleaner onto a paper towel and then I use that damp towel to wipe down those devices. And then I use a dry paper towel to dry them. I use much more cleaner liberally with door k***s, countertops, etc.

There is no need to panic with what’s going on right now, but I do believe that it is time to be extra cautious as we have not had this particular strain of virus before (that we know of), there are many unknowns, and it’s highly contagious due to its spread by droplets in the air and on surfaces. And it seems to stay alive for quite awhile on surfaces. Be wise and take extra cautions, but do not get or stay in fear. God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear. And we can ask Him for wisdom, peace, and protection.

My #4 immune health tip: supplements

I am only going to share with you what I use for supplementation. I am NOT a doctor and I will NOT tell you what to use. I CANNOT diagnose, treat, or promise a cure. What I am sharing is what I have found to be beneficial to my health. If you are under the care of a physician, before you begin any new supplements, I suggest that you talk to your health care professional first.

I shared in my last post about how I believe that food is foundational to a strong immune system (note, however, that my diet isn’t perfect every day!) and the soil our produce comes from is often depleted, so some of our foods are not as nutritious as they used to be. Not to mention, we live in a toxic world with pollutions, chemicals in our food/air/water, and then there’s stress!

👉🏻Adaily multivitamin/mineral is essential to supplement my whole foods diet. I take Master Formula by Young Living.

👉🏻Vitamin C is such a great vitamin with sooo many benefits! It’s very well-studied and it’s amazing and too often overlooked. I encourage you to do some research on Vitamin C. If too much Vitamin C is taken, loose bowels can occur. It is a water-soluble vitamin so space out when you take it to increase absorption and avoid your body eliminating the extra.

👉🏻Vitamin D3 supplement. It’s best absorbed when combined with Vitamin K2. Ideally, everyone should have their Vitamin D levels checked by their doctor to know where they are before beginning supplementation as it’s a fat-soluble vitamin and in excessive levels, can get to be too much.

👉🏻A good Probiotic is very beneficial!! Sixty (60%) of our immune system is found in our gut! Did you realize that? So, to have a healthy immune system, we need a healthy gut.

Other great immune support supplements include selenium, zinc, turmeric, garlic, echinacea, colloidal silver, olive leaf, and oregano.

In addition, I use a host of essential oils both to support a strong immune system and to help in times of extra stress on my body. I love Thieves, RC, Exodus II, Lemon, Frankincense, Raven, Idaho Balsam Fir, and many others. Young Living—the only essential oils that I use and recommend—has at least 200 different oils, and there’s no way I could possibly list them all that I love and use here! But, trust me that they’re used in my home daily: topically, aromatically, and internally. I’m using a lot of Thieves these days.

I believe every human being needs to have informed consent when it comes to what goes into and onto your body. I encourage you to do your own research on what supplements you take. Ask your doctor, or other health care professional, Google, research, use www.pubmed.gov for published research studies. Take the time to find out how you can best add to your diet whatever supplementation you and your loved ones might need to stay healthy and strong.

My #3 Immune Health Tip:
Eat whole, healthy foods, use little to no sugar, and get plenty of pure water.

Hippocrates famously said, “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." I don't want to burst your bubble, but we are what we eat. Oftentimes, we are living to eat instead of eating to live.

Ideally, it's best to eat lots of healthy and whole foods like some fresh fruits and veggies with each meal. Make your plate colorful! (think rainbow 🌈)
🍏🍎🍐🍊🍋🍌🍉🍇🍓🍈🍒🍑🥭🍍🥥🥝🍅🍆🥑🥦🥬🥒🌶🌽🥕

Whenever possible, eat cage-free and hormone-free eggs and chickens, grass-fed beef, and wild caught fish. 🥚🐓🦃🦌🐃🐟

Limit or better yet, eliminate completely white sugar. Studies have shown how sugar reduces our white blood cells' activity for several hours after ingestion. Those white blood cells are needed for our optimal immunity!

And, most people need to drink at least 1/2 of their body weight in ounces of hopefully pure water each day in order to stay well-hydrated (which is VERY important right now!) and to flush out toxins regularly. I hate to tell you, but municipal city water supplies have loads of chemicals, toxins, and even prescription drugs in them. Having a water filtration system in place is ideal. We love the counter-top Berkey filter we've had (and still do) and now have a whole house filtration system called AquaOx. But, if you want to get something right away for filtering your water, get a Berkey filter to fit your needs. It cleans up water really well! 💦💦💦💦💦

I know how busy we can be and how easy it is to want to run through a fast food place for food, and sometimes that is necessary. I also know that right now in many stores, our grocery and food selections are not ideal. But, get what you can. Use what you can. Make the best of the situations that you are faced with right now. As we often say in our house, "make good choices". And when things calm down and when the stores are better stocked again, load up on the healthiest, most life-giving foods that you can.

What we eat and the water we drink are the foundation of our immune system. It's just that plain and simple, friends.

My #2 Immune Health Tip: Proper and Frequent Handwashing

I know, I know.. you've heard this over and over and over recently, right? You might be sick of hearing about it or have blown it off as being not that important really. I get it. How could something so simple be that important, after all, right?

Well, let me tell you again... it's SUPER important! 90% of all diseases can be spread by our 👐. These wonderful extensions of our arms that we can do so many great things with can also be big-time carriers of nasty things that we don't want to talk about but that can harm our health.

We need to stop the spread of bad stuff, friends. And that starts with our hands.

PROPER (under running water and soap for at least 20 seconds (the time it takes you to sing "Happy Birthday" or "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star) AND FREQUENT (like after every time you use the bathroom, before eating, whenever you come back into the house from being gone, after shaking hands (if you are still doing that!), etc. It needs to be both proper and frequent handwashing these days, OK? (By the way, I recommend elbow bumps over shaking hands these days.)

Not near running water and soap? Then use a good hand sanitizer gel or make your own. I love to use Young Living's Thieves Hand Sanitizers and carry them with me everywhere I go. Surely you've heard about Thieves essential oil by now, right?

Along with proper handwashing goes this tip: learn to keep your hands off of your face! Avoid touching your mouth, nose, and eyes right now UNLESS you know that you've just washed your hands.

Your hands are meant for doing good things so keep on doing good things with them by keeping them clean and helping yourself and others to stay healthy! 👏👏👏👏👏

From my sweet friend, Debbie Erickson. Thank you for these peaceful, calming words that remind us who we seek refuge in. 🙏🏻

**************************

We are waking up to a new USA this morning. Over the last several days, our attention has turned to the news and a certain virus that has entered our country and many others. It is not business as usual right now.

As an RN and a natural health educator, I want to provide a PSA series today all about how to have a strong immune system. Staying healthy and avoiding illnesses boils down to the strength of our immune systems.

I will be sharing my favorite ways to stay healthy at any time, but especially now.

Normally, I would talk first about things like hand-washing (that's coming next!) but that's not my #1 tip today.

My #1 tip on how to have a strong immune system is sharing how to stay out of fear and worry. That's a biggie right now. Take a look at your local grocery store or Costco and tell me people are not worried. Turn on the news (or don't.) It's not business as usual.

Why am I starting out with resisting fear and worry? Because not only are they tormenting/uncomfortable/not fun feelings, they undermine and weaken our immune systems. When a person is under great stress, fear, or anxiety, their cortisol levels go up. Long-term, that's not good for a body. It's a proven fact. Faith and a positive outlook are not only a happier place to be in our minds and hearts, but they are good for our bodies, too! Now, that's pretty cool, right?

So, what does a person do in these times to not worry and be fearful?

For me, it's a matter of prayer (talking with God), faith in God's goodness and the history I have of Him coming through for me, and abiding in His written Word that are FULL of promises that He's given us for our protection.

These things may be the same ways for you. Or maybe you are asking others to pray for you. Perhaps you need to limit or stay off of having the news on so much. Maybe you need to surround yourself with people who have hope, positivity, and faith and hang out with them more. Perhaps you are into meditation.

Perhaps you need to do lots of deep breathing these days to exhale all of those stressful feelings. Listen to calming music. Sip on a cup of chamomile tea. Do some stretches. Go for a walk or a run. If you live in a sunny climate, get outside! Fresh air and trees and the outdoors can do wonders for our emotions. Talk to a trusted friend. Seek counseling if you need to. Soak in a warm bath with a handful of Espom salts mixed with maybe a few drops of lavender essential oil in it.

I will be talking all day long about many ways to have optimal immune health physically. But, in the times we are living in right now, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of first taking care of the emotional side of your health and that certainly includes not living in fear/worry/anxiety..

🌱Oil Recommendations: Frankincense, Joy, White Angelica, Valor, Believe

Fear, worry, and anxiety will not do you or anyone else any good. It's non-productive. It's actually harmful. It only weakens our immunity. It is tempting to get into fear right now. Resist it. Check yourself if you start sliding into it. Deal with it in healthy ways. Don't just stuff it down and accept it as your new normal. We need to ride this thing out and come out strong and healthy.

Fear not, friends. Believe it or not, God is still in control...🙌🙌🙌🙌
