The Timeless Power of Frankincense: Beauty, Balance, and Beyond
As a woman who believes that our bodies are temples and that true wellness is God’s desire for us, I get so excited when I come across natural tools that support us in body, mind, and spirit... and Frankincense? Oh, it’s one of my absolute favorites—an oil I consider a holy treasure in my wellness cabinet.
This beautiful, grounding oil has been a part of my personal wellness routine for years. I’ve used it during my quiet time, while praying over my children and grandchildren, as part of my skincare routine, and when I’ve needed clarity or emotional peace. It’s one of those oils that just feels sacred every time you open the bottle.
There’s something truly special about using a plant-based tool that was used thousands of years ago and still carries relevance and power today. It reminds me that wellness isn’t just about what we do—it’s about being in alignment with the way God designed us to live: whole, connected, and nourished from the inside out.
Whether you're just getting started with essential oils or you've been walking this path for a while, I hope this post helps you fall in love with Frankincense the way I have—and see just how many ways it can bless your life and your family.
Skin Support and Radiant Beauty
Frankincense has been used for centuries to support glowing, healthy skin. It’s gentle yet powerful—perfect for midlife skin that’s craving nourishment and renewal.
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Promotes even skin tone and a youthful glow
- Calms redness and irritation
I love adding a drop to my nighttime moisturizer or a DIY glow serum. It feels luxurious—and intentional.
Relief for Aches and Discomfort
Let’s be honest—life in our 50s and beyond comes with its fair share of creaks and aches. Our bodies might not function the way they use to but we don’t have to settle for discomfort.
Frankincense is soothing to the body and works beautifully when layered with oils like Copaiba or PanAway.
- Eases joint and muscle tension
- Supports a healthy inflammatory response
- Brings gentle, grounding relief after a long day
It’s one of my go-to oils after gardening or long walks with the grandkids.
Brain and Mood Support
One of the most incredible things about Frankincense is its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, thanks to its high sesquiterpene content. This means it has direct access to support your neurological system.
- Promotes focus and mental clarity
- Calms anxious thoughts
- Supports brain health over time
I often diffuse it during my quiet time, prayer, or when I just need a moment to reset my thoughts. It helps bring my mind back to center.
Emotional and Hormonal Balance
Our emotions and hormones often go hand in hand—especially during midlife. Frankincense is a wonderful oil for finding that inner balance.
- Encourages a sense of peace and stability
- Supports hormonal harmony
- Helps create a calming atmosphere during stress
I like to apply a drop over my heart or the back of my neck when I feel overwhelmed or unsteady. It’s like a deep breath in a bottle.
A Sacred History and Legacy
Frankincense isn’t just a wellness tool—it’s part of a sacred legacy. It was one of the gifts given to Jesus by the wise men, symbolizing holiness, healing, and reverence. Ancient Egyptians used it for embalming and anointing, and mummies have been found with preserved skin and hair—likely thanks to this incredible resin.
Every time I use Frankincense, I’m reminded of how God has provided everything we need—naturally, beautifully, and abundantly.
Why Young Living?
Not all Frankincense is created equal. Young Living’s commitment to purity and sustainability is why I’ve trusted them for over 25 years.
- Seed to Seal® certified (better than organic standards)
- No fillers or synthetic additives
- Ethically sourced from the original heartlands of this sacred oil
You can feel confident using this on your body, your loved ones, and even your little grandbabies.
A Wellness Journey That Impacts Others
Every time you choose to invest in your health through Yaya’s Essentials, you’re also investing in something much bigger. Proceeds from this work help fund an orphanage in South Africa that houses over 1,800 children—providing meals, a home, and education for little ones with no living relatives.
One day, I believe this work will also help build a medical clinic in Uganda. That’s the kind of legacy we’re building—together.
