Ikigai oils said it best! Frankincense is king of oils! There is a lovely promo this month with Frankincense and its a good reminder of all the goodness this oil can do!
Frankincense, I owe you an apology.
I had started to take you for granted. I forgot that "When in doubt get Frank out" wasn't just a tag line.
It's easy to get complacent as new kids on the block Copaiba and Yarrow Pom come into the play pen, and forget the magic that you hold inside.
Growing in some of the most hospitable climates in the world, anchoring your roots through nothing more than rock, you bring to us a level of resilience that nothing else can.
Your trees aren't bought and sold, they are passed down generation to generation. You have experienced love and gratitude for providing your custodians with a source of income most people in your land do not have and you gift that back in return through your resin tears.
People have been singing your praises for millenniums and today I want to remind the world why.
Frankincense, thank you.
Thank you for always being there. In every blend. On every trip. It has just sunk in that I never leave home without you. I can always rely on you that you'll know how to help.
I'm sorry I forgot that.
You are rubbed into my temples after a long day. You are dropped under my tongue when my fuse is about to snap. You are sprayed onto my child's knee when mummy kisses aren't enough. You are diffused when my mind needs to experience relief, and a drop in my hand is enough to remind me of my divine connection to all that is good and all that is possible.
Yours truly in gratitude, forever and always.
