I created this oil specifically for my patients who experience stress, the inability to relax and sleep. It’s main purpose is to offer the therapeutic effect of extreme relaxation, soothing frayed nerves and mental anxiety.
Certain types of pain will even be relieved as the chemical components of the oils interact with opiate receptors that control pain.
Just drop into bath water, and onto skin. You can’t overdo it. Experiment to see what works best for you. This can be used at anytime, not just in the bath.. you can apply it directly to wrist, neck, feet, abdomen before bed, and get the best rest you've ever dreamed of... The effects are quite amazing indeed.

Ancient Uses:
Frankincense was extremely valuable during ancient times.  The Egyptians used it to fumigate their homes, especially the sick room, for ritual incense and for cosmetics.   It was considered a holy anointing oil and was used as a general cure all for diseases.  It has traditionally been used to enhance meditation and to elevate spiritual consciousness.  In addition, it was used to anoint the newborn sons of kings and priests.  As an incense, the resin from the tree was beaten into a fine powder and burned before the altar of God. 

Modern Uses:
Since it is fairly high in sesquiterpenes, it goes beyond the blood brain barrier and helps stimulate the limbic system of the brain (the center of the emotions) as well as the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands.  The hypothalamus is the master gland of the human body, controlling the release of many hormones including thyroid and growth hormone.  Frankincense is being studied in some European hospitals for its ability to improve human growth hormone production.  The monoterpenes reprogram cellular memory thus promoting permanent healing;  it is used for cancer, depression, allergies, headaches, bronchitis, herpes, tonsillitis, typhoid, warts, brain damage, and it stimulates the body’s production of white blood cells.  Frankincense is one of the few oils that is anti-tumoral.  It is a strong antiviral, antioxidant, antifungal, antibacterial, antiseptic and expectorant oil.

For the Mind and Spirit:
It has the ability to relax and revitalize at the same time.  It makes an excellent treatment for nervous tension and nervous exhaustion.  Its fragrance increases spiritual awareness and promotes meditation.  It may also help to strengthen the immune system and decrease depression.    It is ideal for contemplation and prayer, ceasing mental chatter and stilling the mind.  It is spiritually liberating, tranquilizing, yet clarifying.  It aids the mind to focus and eliminate distractions.  It is a sacred oil that helps heal one’s spirit and comforts one’s heart.  Use it to encourage positive states of stability, protection, introspection, courage, fortitude, acceptance and inspiration; and to counteract negative emotions of fear, grief, over-attachments, burnout, exhaustion, insincerity, panic, anxiety, repression, resistance, self-destruction, apprehension and despair.

In terms of Oriental medicine, Vetiver essential oil is cool and moist in energy. It clears heat, nourishes, calms and uplifts. From a vitalistic viewpoint, the roots of any plant are innately nourishing, strengthening and grounding. Belonging to a family that feeds the world, the roots of Vetiver are especially so - a fact reflected in the very richness of the essential oil.

Vetiver essential oil is used for emotional grounding and stabilizing the emotions. It is considered relaxing to an overheated, hyperactive mind an nurturing to an insecure self-identity.

Myrrh has always been a popular fixing oil, from ancient times to the present, to prolong the life of the fragrances in other oils.  Hence, it was blended with so many perfumes and ointments in Biblical times that in the Gospels the Greek word for myrrh, “muron” was sometimes translated as “ointment” without revealing that its content included myrrh.  One of the oldest spiritual oils known to man.

Modern Uses:  Anti-inflammatory, Antiseptic, balancing to thyroid and endocrine system, (has a hormone –like effect) supports immune system.  Bronchitis, diarrhea, thrush in babies, vaginal thrush, athletes foot, ring worm, viral hepatitis, chapped skin, wrinkles.  Emotional releasing.  Sesquiterpenes deprogram miswritten information on the DNA at a cellular level, thus promoting permanent healings.  Calming.  Relieves pain by interacting with opiate receptors.  Has a profound healing effect on the mouth.. heals ulcers, gum problems.

For the Mind and Spirit:  Myrrh can be used for emotional releasing.  Like frankincense, myrrh affects the nervous system in a gentle calming way.  It can be used to instill deep tranquility, inner stillness and peace.  When used in grief, it tends to ease sorrow.  Use it to encourage fortitude, peace, calm, sympathy, acceptance and courage.
