Oil of the month
Frankincense – The Oil of Truth
January is a special time. The energy of the holidays slowly fades, and a new year lies open before us. It is a season of reflection, realignment, and inner clarity.
During this time, one oil accompanies me more than any other: doTERRA Frankincense.
For thousands of years, frankincense has been regarded as one of the most precious gifts of all. It was offered by the Three Wise Men as a symbol of dignity, protection, and deep spiritual meaning.
Frankincense is often referred to as the “Oil of Kings” and the “Oil of Truth.”
What is doTERRA Frankincense?
Frankincense is distilled from the resin of the Boswellia tree and is considered one of the most valuable essential oils.
Its aroma is warm, soft, and slightly balsamic — calm, grounding, and deeply present.
It does not demand attention. Instead, it gently invites stillness and awareness.
Many people use frankincense as a daily companion for personal well-being, skincare, and moments of mindfulness.
Frankincense – The Oil of Truth
In emotional and energetic aromatherapy, frankincense is often described as the Oil of Truth. It supports honest self-reflection and helps us reconnect with our inner voice.
Frankincense is associated with themes of trust, inner guidance, and spiritual maturity. It can be especially supportive during times when feelings of abandonment, disconnection, or inner emptiness arise — gently reminding us that we are held, guided, and protected.
Many people experience frankincense as carrying a father-like energy: strong yet gentle.
Like a loving father who nurtures, guides, and protects, frankincense offers a sense of safety and orientation without pressure or force.
Spiritual Depth & Inner Connection
Traditionally, frankincense has been used in prayer and meditation practices across many cultures. Its aroma creates a space of stillness, presence, and inward focus.
It supports moments of contemplation, helping the mind quiet and the heart open — independent of any religious belief.
Many people choose frankincense to deepen meditation practices or to accompany personal rituals focused on clarity, trust, and spiritual connection.
✨ How to use
In the Diffuser – for Calm & Alignment
For a peaceful, centering atmosphere, I love this blend:
-
2 drops Frankincense
- 1 drop Orange or Lemon
-
1 drop Lavender
This combination is perfect for quiet mornings, meditation, or unwinding in the evening.
In Skincare
Adding one drop of frankincense to a facial oil or daily moisturizer has become a gentle ritual for me — especially during the colder months.
It brings mindfulness and intention into everyday skincare.
My Personal Evening Ritual
In the evening, I apply frankincense (always diluted in a carrier oil) to:
-
the soles of my feet
-
or gently along the spine
This helps me release the day and return to a place of calm and inner balance.
My Thoughts & Frankincense Experience
Frankincense is far more than an essential oil to me.
It is a companion for truth, trust, and conscious growth.
Especially at the beginning of the year, it reminds me that clarity does not need to be loud — it often arises from stillness.
Frankincense invites us to come home to ourselves and walk our path with grace, dignity, and trust.
