I’ve been learning so much about all the different types of essential oils and their many powerful uses! 

Today I want to talk about Our Top 3 Essential Oils over here at Chemical Free Body! 

Myrrh: Ancient records show that Myrrh was deemed so valuable that at times it was valued at its weight in gold. Myrrh essential oil is derived from the gummy resin of the small, thorny Myrrh tree and has been used for centuries for its internal and external health benefits. Myrrh has been used throughout history as a perfume, incense, and health aid. It was also employed in embalming and religious ceremonies. Myrrh oil has powerful cleansing properties, especially for the mouth and throat. It is also soothing to the skin when applied topically—promoting a smooth, youthful-looking complexion. 

Uses:

• Add one to two Myrrh oil drops to toothpaste for added cleansing benefits. (I love the taste, I think it adds a really nice element to toothpaste. 
• Diffuse Myrrh essential oil to create a balanced atmosphere.
• Add to your lotion/moisturizer to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. (I’ve been doing this every night and have noticed a tremendous difference in my skin!) 
• Add one to two drops to a couple ounces of water and gargle for a quick mouth rinse.*

Primary Benefits:

Frankincense: Renowned as one of the most prized and precious essential oils, Frankincense oil has extraordinary health benefits.* In addition to its notoriety in the New Testament, the Babylonians and Assyrians would burn Frankincense in religious ceremonies and the ancient Egyptians used Frankincense resin for everything from perfume to salves for soothing skin. This centuries-old knowledge contributes to the modern uses of Frankincense oil today. Its soothing and beautifying properties are used to rejuvenate skin and help reduce the appearance of imperfections when applied topically. As the king of oils, Frankincense is known to support healthy cellular, immune, nervous, and digestive function when used internally.*

Rosemary oil’s herbaceous and energizing scent is frequently used in aromatherapy. Taken internally it helps to reduce nervous tension and occasional fatigue.*
