Frankincense
It was once considered so precious that treasuries were built to house and protect this valuable commodity. The Roman Empire once coveted the Frankincense trade so much that Augustus Caesar ordered 10,000 Roman troops to invade the region in order to control Frankincense production. However, the troops never made it through the desert and had to turn back. Frankincense was of great value then and now as the challenges of sourcing Frankincense from it's indigenous home continue to make it one of the most expensive and sought after essential oils.
1. Anti-Inflammatory: Studies show Frankincense has anti-inflammatory properties, much like NSAIDS/Advil.
• Combine Frankincense with Deep Blue or Marjoram to reduce muscle, joint and bone pain. Massage 2 drops of each with fractionated coconut oil into large joints like knee and shoulder. Half dose for smaller joints. Reapply as needed.
• Relieve inflammation in the respiratory system by diffusing Frankincense or inhaling vapors from a bowl of hot water.
• Place 2 to 3 drops of Frankincense under the tongue 1 to 2x daily to reduce inflammation, nerve issues and depression.
• Reduce gum disease, slow recession of gums by Oil Pulling with Frankincense. Add 1 drop each Frankincense and On Guard and Melaleuca to 1 tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil. Swish for 20 minutes and spit into the garbage and brush your teeth! Great practice and worth reading about.
• Get rid of stubborn headaches by placing 1 drop of Frankincense on pad of thumb, pressing the essential oil on the roof of mouth and holding for several seconds.
• For Restless Leg Syndrome relief, apply 2 drops Frankincense with carrier oil to the bottom of each foot and massage each night.
2. Anti-aging: Frankincense is beneficial for various skin conditions including the lessening of wrinkles and reduction of age spots. Many have found a bonus side effect of applying Frankincense on the face, improved vision!
• To reduce fine lines around eyes, blend equal parts Frankincense, Cypress, Lavender, and Fractionated Coconut Oil in a glass roller bottle. Dab on facial bones surrounding eyes morning and night after washing face, careful not to get too close to the eyes! Dilute with carrier oil if you so.
• Apply Frankincense neat, (undiluted) to uneven skin tone.
• Add a drop of Frankincense to your moisturizer with every use!
• Apply undiluted to acne or occasional breakouts.
• Apply with a little fractionated coconut oil to wounds to reduce scarring. Great for stretch marks.
3. Immunity Enhancer: Whether it be from bacteria, virus or external toxins that we come in contact with on a daily basis, we all need the immunity enhancing quality of Frankincense.
• Frankincense supports the production of white blood cells. Take 2 to 3 drops under the tongue twice daily, for depleted white blood count, drip and massage 2 drops of Frankincense with carrier oil along the spine and back of neck daily.
• Apply to temples for management of stress.
• Apply to the base of brain stem 2x daily to help with depression.
• Add Frankincense to Breathe respiratory blend, massage on chest and throat for a persistent cough.
• Layer Frankincense over any essential oil to enhance that oils properties and drive the oils deeper. Think of Frankincense as a "kickin it up a notch" essential oil because it is and it DOES!
While this is a very short list of all the benefits of Frankincense essential oil, it's a good representation of just how broad and deep it's properties go. If I had one essential oil to depend on, Frankincense would be the one!
Holiday Joy: More than Just a Fragrance?
Holiday Joy is one of our most sought after oil blends during the holiday season because it fills homes with the aroma of the holidays. Some may think that dōTERRA’s Holiday Joy Blend can only be used as a fragrance, but remember that these are essential oils, after all, and each oil in the blend helps to provide many benefits.
Let’s take a look at each essential oil in the blend and how they can benefit you:
Wild Orange: Great for helping to energize and revitalize your mind and body. Wild Orange also helps uplift your mood and reduces anxiety. Who wouldn’t like those benefits around the holidays?
Pine: Bring the smell of a live Christmas tree into your home while helping to increase your family’s immune system keeping them happy and healthy.
Cassia: Historically, Cassia was used and mentioned in Old Testament literature. It contains properties to help maintain physical and emotional well being, and is known for its ability to calm one’s anxiety. Its spicy aroma is also great during the cold months.
Cinnamon Bark: Cinnamon essential oil has many therapeutic benefits including its cleansing properties. It is also one of the essential oils found in dōTERRA’s On Guard Protective Blend to help support your immune system.
Nutmeg: This sweet and spicy aroma does more than just have a wonderful smell, it also helps comforts and sooth your emotional well-being.
Vanilla: Helps calm and relax, uplifts moods, and can help reduce stress, anger, tension, and irritability. Every home could use a little more relaxation instead of tension during the holidays.
Holiday Joy is certainly more than just a fragrance! Make sure to diffuse it in your home to keep your family happy, healthy, and joyful this holiday season.

1 lb large strawberries
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3-4 Tablespoons powdered sugar (or sugar substitute – to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 drops of your favorite doTERRA citrus oil (Lemon, Lime, Wild Orange, Grapefruit)
*Wild Orange may change the color of the filing
–
Instructions:
1. Rinse strawberries and cut around the top of the strawberry. Remove the top, (enough for a hat). Clean out the whole strawberry with a paring knife, if necessary (some of them are hollow already. Prep all of the strawberries and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, citrus oil and vanilla until creamy. Add cream cheese mix to a piping bag or Ziploc with the corner snipped off. Fill the strawberries with cheesecake mixture.
3. Once strawberries are filled, top with the ‘hats.’ Decorate according to photo.
4. If not serving immediately, refrigerate until serving.
Cinnamon Chocolate Bread
I would definitely make this for company or bring it to a party, or keep it all for myself and eat if for breakfast. I added a three of drops of Cinnamon Essential Oil in addition to the rest of the ingredients for a little extra kick of cinnamon.
Ingredients
- Chocolate Batter –
- 3 sticks unsalted butter at room temperature
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 cups flour
- 1 ¼ cup dutch processed cocoa
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp dutch processed cocoa
- Pinch of ground ginger
- Pinch of ground cloves
Cocoa Spice Topping –
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
- Line two 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pans with parchment paper.
- Mix the butter and sugar together in an electric mixer until light and creamy. Then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until each is fully incorporated.
- Sift together flour, cocoa, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, water and vanilla. With your mixer on a low speed, begin adding the contents of each bowl to the butter mixture, alternating between the two until your mixture is fully blended, but not overly whipped.
- Split your batter between the two pans. If your batter is slightly uneven, you can lightly shake the pan to even out the tops.
- Make your Cocoa Spice topping by combining the sugar, cinnamon, cocoa, ginger and cloves. Sprinkle over the tops of the loaves.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes.
I ended up having to bake it for a total of 55 minutes for it to be fully baked all the way through after testing with a toothpick inserted into the middle of the bread. I threw a piece of tinfoil over the top of the bread and baked it for that extra 10 minutes so the inside would cook without burning the top of the bread.
30-Day Renewal
This is a great protocol for your body and alternate every other month.
