Frankincense oils review

I received these items in exchange for an honest review. Blurb sources Tomoson.com and Amazon.com

I adore frankincense as it is one of the only things in this world which help treat hemicrania continua, and yes it has helped with my headaches. I've been wanting to try it in oil form for quite awhile to see if it was more effective than taking in capsules. Unfortunately the oils I have to share with you today are for external use only so no such luck in testing them for this. I just used these oils externally on my head and whatever aches and pains I had throughout the day.

Since I just used these oils to treat my pain I decided to do a quick web search for its other uses. It can be useful for a variety of ailments including treating colds  and bronchitis, menstrual cramps, to regulate estrogen, and to promote healing of acne and wounds. I personally became interested in frankincense many years ago because it is mentioned in the Bible and I know it was used in olden days to treat headaches. It's also good for arthritis of course as it is an anti inflammatory.

Last week I read that smelling frankincense daily is supposed to help heal brain injuries as well so I've been making a conscious effort to do this. Every little bit helps and it can't hurt to try, right?

Review:

I've been using this oil a lot to treat my daily headache and it has helped somewhat. I just rub a little bit on my forehead and the base of my neck for relief. I did not use a carrier oil most of the time and I had no problems.  I also used this to ease chronic leg pain and a pulled leg muscle. I definitely felt relief.

I now like to keep this oil on hand and whenever I notice a little bit of pain I just rub the oil on for relief. I think I may want to start using a carrier oil with this even though the bottle is a huge 4 ounces just because I want it to last longer. 

This oil has a woodsy scent which I actually don't much care for but I can kind of ignore it. My boyfriend said I smell like one of the head shops from our hometown so I suppose it smells similar to patchouli, I'm not sure.

This oil is 100% pure steam distilled from India. Even though it is steam distilled it doesn't have an expiration date on the label at all. It is labeled as premium therapeutic grade meaning it isn't quite as strong.

Review:

I didn't notice much difference between this oil and the Radha Beauty frankincense except this oil does seem to have a stronger odor which makes me believe it is more potent. This bottle is only 10 mL and usually I'm not a big fan of the smaller sized oils just because it doesn't seem like you get very much for the price. With this oil however I feel the convenience of the small bottle is nice. Frankincense oil is something I would like to have with me at all times so I do like that this bottle is small enough for me to carry it in my purse.

Available on Amazon.com for $8.99 and free shipping on orders $35 on up. It is also available at $8.54 with subscription.
