In reply to Alyssa Gilmore. I have not heard of this happening from frankincense. Try doing only 2 drops, 2 times each day and see how your body does. If symptoms persist, I'd consult with your physician

Hello!

I would like to know what would be the best carrier oil(s) that would blend very well with Franckincense essential pure oil for stretch marks and help with skin scars? “In the article it says a pure oil would be best”.What would you suggest in terms of an unscented oil or cream to use? Thank you for your time!

Sincerely,
Suzanne

I started using Frankincense oil about 2 weeks ago and have been using a few drops on my feet and back of neck per day. I am using it with a carrier oil. Yesterday I woke up and just felt totally out of it and not myself. I felt lethargic, depleted and VERY irritable and snappy. This is not myself. I am wondering if I am using too much and am sort of wondering if it is affecting my hormone levels (I am 48). I really do like the way it helps my anxiety and the sense of calm I get when I take it. But, yesterday was the first time I have felt this weird and not myslef after taking it. I take medication for anxiety and this oil seems to completely eliminate anxiety. It makes me want to see if I can get off the medication. But, I think I just took too much. Have you heard of this happening?

Hello. How can frankincense be used for bad breath? Also, can the oil be mixed with something to drink? Do you offer any face cleansers, shower gels, lotions, etc?

In reply to Sylvvia. It depends on the oil as some are much higher quality than others but a high quality oil can last up 5-10 years

By: Dr. Josh Axe

Dr. Josh Axe — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 19:45:22 +0000

In reply to Sondra. I would try using a carrier oil like coconut oil with just a drop or 2 of the oil and see how your body does with it. I would also make sure that the oils you are using are truly of good quality. If you want any info on the oils I personally use and recommend, just email me at oils@draxe.com

My mother is fighting for her life (stage 4 melanoma that is now in her lung and brain.) It was recently discovered that brain tumors are appearing rapidly (went from 2 to 10 in two weeks) and the cancer is very aggressive. She is undergoing immunotherapy and brain radiation. She started using frankincense as soon as it was discovered in her lungs. Can frankincense still make a difference? How much should she be ingesting?

Can you recommend a brand of essential oils, or where you buy them?
There are so many, and now there are people I know selling them, but I’m not sure they are high quality.

Thank you.

Dr. Axe, I am taking a blood thinner. I suffer with IBS and was wondering if I use the oil to rub on my stomach if it would conflict with my blood thinner rather than ingesting it. I read your article on food mapping and want to try all I can to relieve this problem because it has caused a lot of social embarrassment!

Can I use this oil when making deodorant? I made deodorant from the recipe u gave before and I don’t think it is strong enough for me. Can I add this oil to help kill bacteria or will it burn or not be effective?

I have tried a variety of high quality therapeutic grade EO. I do fine with aromatherapy, but when I apply to the feet, or any other place on the body, a rash breaks out on my abdomen and stomach. I’ve been AK muscle tested and the Dr. says I should have no problem with them. I’ve also heard that it could be the result of a sulfur deficiency or toxins under the skin. Any idea why I can not tolerate any EO applied to my body with out a breakout.? I’ve tried detoxing and it still happens. How would I know if I do have a sulfur issue and what to do to correct? There are so many benefits of EO and I really want to be able to use them and reap the great health benefits. I’m frustrated–and scratching. :-) Thanks for your feedback.
