FRANKINCENSE; THE OIL OF TRUTH

Origin

Known as the King of Oils, frankincense, an ancient treasure in biblical times, is still grown natively in parts and the Middle East. Created through steam distillation of the resin, frankincense oil has been a traditional remedy for thousands of years. It used for a myriad of purposes including cosmetics, perfumes, skincare and a wide range of medicines.

Aroma

Frankincense has a rich, deep and warm scent that is sweet and balsamic. Its aromatic influence helps to ficus energy and improve concentration.

Benefits / Uses

Oh my, where to start with this one?! Here are the some of the top uses from the Modern Essentials book:

Frankincense contains sesquiterpenes, a chemical property of the oil that enables it to go beyond the blood-brain barrier, helping to oxygenate the pineal pituitary glands – which are the main glands in the body that control the balance of our hormones.
Thereby it can assist with increasing the way our cells function.
It is great to use during meditation or studying.
It also helps to ease hyperactivity, impatience, irritability and can help enhance spiritual awareness.
Arthritis / Inflammation of muscles or joints: gently massage affected joints (you can also use a blend of frank, tumeric, cobaiba, peppermint, ice blue and marjoram with FCO. Ask me for more details)
Mental Fatigue: to help relax, apply frank neat to your temples, back of neck, over your liver area or into the soles of your feet
General support: skin health & scarring prevention / asthma or bronchitis / high blood pressure / staph / nervous conditions / arthritis / mood balancing / wrinkles / mental fatigue / pain / immune system support.

Application

Topically: try adding a drop into your facial moisturiser to help your skin feel and look rejuvenated and reduce the appearance of imperfections. If you’re a yogi, try gently massaging a drop in to your third eye before you practice yoga or meditate to deepen your practice.
Aromatically: diffuse in your home (or yoga studio) for enhanced clarity, focus and promote feelings of calm, safety, and relaxation. Frankincense blends with all oils however I just love it with citrus oils like Lime, Lemon and Wild Orange. For spiritual work try blending it with oils such as Cypress, Lavender, Geranium, Rose, Sandalwood, YlangYlang and Clary Sage for diffusion.
Food additive: try a drop of frankincense under your tongue every day to support your body’s cellular health, increase your brain function and reduce inflammation. Frankincense is a key ingredient in dōTERRA’s Lifelong Vitality

Safety

Dilute for use with children.

Rituals

Frankincense can help to ‘remove the scales of avidya from our eyes’ so we can start to see ourselves as we truly are. Here in lies ‘the work’ – do we actually like ourselves?

Try incorporating this oil in with your yoga practice / teaching. My all time go-to favourite for enhancing my connection with Spirit and reminding me of my higher purpose.
Try diffusing this oil before you start any spiritual practice so you can breathe in its benefits. Sit for a few moments allowing stillness to come to your body and consider your intention, for your practice, for your day.
Notice what comes up for you…the oil of truth helps us to see ourselves the way that the Divine sees us – perfect.

Claudia’s favourite

My personal favourite combo for realising love of self is blending frankincense with pure rose oil, the oil of Divine love.

GREEN MANDARINE; THE OIL OF POTENTIAL

Origin

This luscious citrus is a beauty!! Cold pressed from the peel of unripened mandarines sourced from Brazil. Despite the fact that the oil is distilled from unripe fruit, Green Mandarin’s aroma is less sour than most citrus oils.

Aroma

Green Mandarine offers a bight, fresh aroma that is awesome at soothing strong emotions like anger, grief, and shock. Its aroma can also be relaxing for the nervous system while promoting courage and quiet strength.

Distilling unripened mandarines gives the oil a brighter and more uplifting aroma (it has to be one of FAVE’s for breathing in straight from the bottle..)

Benefits / Uses

You can use Green Mandarine to help with:

cellulite
circulation
digestive system disorders
dizziness
fat digestion (making it great support for the liver too)
irritability (including tired & achy limbs)
stretch marks (it blends well with Lavender & Frankincense for this)
swelling & water retention (alleviates edema)

Application

Topically: promote healthy skin and hair by adding a drop of Green Mandarin into your beauty routine, try a few drops to water or witch hazel for a mild skin toner and clarifier. Try also a customised pure-fume or a massage oil by blending it with Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang or Lavender.
Aromatically: diffuse Green Mandarin to create a bright and energised environment by diffusing it in your home, it can also help to purify the air and get rid of unpleasant odours. Try blending it with Basil or Spearmint.
Food additive: this one is pretty spesh in some cold, fizzy water, yumyum!! Try also marinating chicken with it and Pink Pepper, or making delicious marinades or salad dressings.

Safety

Be cautious with sensitive skin and stay out of the sunlight for at least 12hrs if you’ve applied it to an area exposed to the suns rays, its not as photosensitive as other citrus but still be safe ok

Rituals

Also some of the emotional benefits of this succulent oil

Incorporating this oil in with your yoga practice / teaching; consider offering a class that invites students to explore their potential with back extensions and heart openers.

WINTERGREEN; THE OIL OF SURRENDER

Origin

Sustainably sourced and steam distilled from the leaves of a creeping shrub found in parts of Nepal where it is wild harvested by rural villagers then distilled by community-owned distillation facilities. dōTERRA’s Co-Impact Sourcing process helps create increased economic opportunity for the very remote regions in rural Nepal where this oil is harvested.

Aroma

Wintergreen oil has a pink colour and a scent that is sweet, minty, and refreshing that can be uplifting and stimulating to the senses. Its main chemical component in Wintergreen, methyl salicylate

Benefits / Uses

Thank you Wintergreen, for reminding me to let go and let God:

Used in topical creams and massage blends because of its soothing properties to the skin.
Aids with Arthritic pain, bone pain and spurs, cartilage injury, frozen shoulder & joint pain among many other uses.
It is also has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties and is a key ingredient inside the Ice Blue oil and the Ice Blue Athletic Rub.

Application

Topically: either apply neat to target areas or dilute with FCO to create a warming massage over your shoulders or anywhere you are experiencing tension. You can also add a drop or two to your warm bath to ease muscular tension. Wintergreen oil blends well with Marjoram, Peppermint, Spearmint, Thyme, Oregano, and Ylang Ylang essential oils.
Aromatically: diffusing this oil helps to create the clarity of the open outdoors while adding the sweet, minty smell of green trees. Along with its clean aroma, diffusing Wintergreen oil will help promote an uplifting and stimulating effect on the senses.

Safety

Keep out of reach of children and definitely not for internal use. Possible skin sensitivity. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult your doctor prior to using this oil.

Rituals

Try incorporating this oil in with your yoga practice / teaching as it aids with removing self-sabotaging blockages ~ this unique oil is phenomenal for ‘shaking the monkey of your back’ & allow Grace.
Try gently massaging a couple of drops into your shoulders and upper traps before shoulder opening stretches, consider where in your life you have limited yourself from receiving more of your own love or from the universe.
Try exploring this oils relationship with heart opening postures that require focus such as arm balances.
