Frankincense E.O. for Arthritis A 2008 study in India found that the active components of the Boswellia tree bark – also known as Frankincense – has powerful properties to help with the pain associated with Arthritis. In addition, and according to the American Arthritis Foundation, Frankincense essential oil has strong anti- inflammatory and analgesic properties, and may also help prevent cartilage loss and inhibit the autoimmune process. It may also be used to treat symptoms of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. Frankincense can be found in several concentrated forms, including a therapeutic-grade oil, that can be massaged directly onto painful areas of the skin. It’s said to be so powerful that it is now comparable to NSAID (non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drugs) pain relievers. For proper use, it’s important to acquire a good-quality, high-concentrate of the essential oil (many are diluted and not of medicinal strength, but just used for their aroma), and combine with a carrier oil such as coconut or jojoba oil, and rubbed on the painful joint area several times per day. Other essential oils beneficial for arthritis use include myrrh, orange, peppermint, and lavender.• HOW IS IT MADE? Approximately three pounds of lavender flowers are required to produce just 15 ml of lavender essential oil. To make a true essential oil you have to distill the lavender buds, capture the steam, and condense the steam into a liquid. This requires heat, pressure, equipment, skill and patience.
