Frankincense For Migraines

One of my all-time favorite scents is frankincense. For years, I’ve primarily used it as incense to cleanse my spaces—whether at home or in the office. I often blend it with a touch of sandalwood and myrrh for an even richer aroma.

Frankincense: From Ancient Healing to Modern Wellness

Frankincense has been treasured for thousands of years for both its spiritual and medicinal properties. Ancient Egyptians used it in religious rituals, embalming, and skincare and healing practices, believing it could reduce inflammation, support wound healing, and promote overall wellness. Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine also valued frankincense for its ability to ease joint pain, improve circulation, calm the mind, and balance emotions. In the Middle East, it was a highly prized commodity, traded along the Incense Route, and considered a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms.

Today, frankincense continues to be celebrated in aromatherapy and holistic wellness. Its benefits are wide-ranging: it supports emotional balance, encourages relaxation, and acts as a natural antibacterial agent. Modern studies even explore its potential in supporting cellular health and premenstrual wellness.

Tonight, I felt a migraine coming on. Guided by intuition, I reached for my apothecary and pulled out a vial of frankincense oil. I applied a single drop to the crown of my head, right on my crown chakra, and followed it with lavender oil on my temples and the base of my skull. Within minutes, I felt a significant difference.

Applying frankincense oil to the crown of your head may help stimulate the pineal gland, improve circulation, and support emotional balance. One drop can go a long way in providing relief.

⚠️ Safety tip: Always dilute essential oils with a carrier oil to prevent skin irritation.

Whether you’re seeking relief from migraines, emotional balance, or simply a moment of calm, frankincense has been a trusted ally for thousands of years—and it continues to be relevant in our modern wellness practices. Personally, I find that just a drop on my crown chakra, paired with lavender on my temples, can transform an overwhelming day into one of clarity and ease.

I invite you to discover the soothing effects of frankincense in your daily routines, which can assist in reducing pain and enhancing your quality of life through relaxation. Book an appointment today to experience a unique blend of essential oils featuring frankincense oil.
