I take a drop of Frankincense under my tongue morning and night for overall health and managing stress.

I use Frankincense in almost all of my blends because it's such an amazing oil, but also because it boosts the healing power of the other oils.

I propped hubby against my leg so that he was still on his side, reached over to my oil box on the coffee table (thank goodness I keep them in alphabetical order and could spot that red sticker on the lid in seconds ☺). I took the lid off and waved it under his nose. Within 5 seconds the seizure was over. Thank goodness! I was saying to my ...
