12 Oils of Ancient Scripture: Frankincense, part II
Posted by admin
Because of his travels, Gary Young has immersed himself in the study of frankincense. Here, Gary recounts some of this precious substance’s legendary history.
Frankincense was anciently associated with longevity. For instance: In the tales of Alexander’s adventures in India at the oracle of the sun and the moon, the Indian guardians of the oracle lived in a bower of sacred trees, which wafted the aroma of frankincense and balsam. They lived on pure water, balsam, and frankincense; a diet on which they had thrived for 300 years.
Legend also tells about Adam having been given gold, frankincense, and myrrh by God as a consolation for having lost paradise. According to the legends, he hid these gifts safely high in the mountains where they were treasured by Noah after the waters of the flood had receded. These sacred gifts were said to be passed down from generation to generation and kept carefully until the time came that they were to be brought to the newborn Jesus.
As early as 2800 BC, frankincense was carried either north to Mesopotamia or west to the Red Sea. There it was loaded on boats bound for Egypt where it was valued as an offering worthy of the gods. The Egyptian Book of the Dead considered incense far more than a ceremonial trapping. Frankincense was believed to enhance the afterlife journey of the deceased using the words of the ritual pyramid text: “A stairway to the sky is set up for me that I may ascend on it to the sky. And I ascend on the sense of the great sensing, frankincense.”
Of all the ancient scripture oils, frankincense has the greatest story and the longest history—widely regarded as the most powerful aromatic substance in ancient times. The writings of Ptolemy comment that the small fragments that crumble off of the worked frankincense lumps as well as the frankincense dust and powder were called manna.
Many other medicinal uses of frankincense throughout the ages appear in ancient records. The early physicians described the properties of frankincense as being hot, dry, astringent, detergent, and extractant. Childbirth was protected by fumigation of frankincense and fresh frankincense was traditionally used in poultices and plasters to treat a wide variety of skin lesions. The gum was made into pills to treat thinning of blood and of abdominal and chest pain, cholera, and a wide variety of problems. Frankincense mixtures were claimed to cure all known ails and to be an antidote to all known poisons. Frankincense was thought to be very good for the healing of bone fractures and it was also thought to aid conception. Even the pollen was prescribed in a remedy for gout, and the buds and the berries for the cleansing of an infected throat.
However, no modern studies have yet investigated the validity of these claims.
Stay tuned for more information about the 12 Oils of Ancient Scripture! Next, I’ll focus on the history and therapeutic benefits of sandalwood.

12 Oils of Ancient Scripture: Frankincense, part I
Posted by admin
This is the beginning of the story of 12 Oils of Ancient Scripture, including some exciting experiences of Gary Young as he has traveled and studied around the world. Today, Gary Young recounts one particular experience in traveling to southern Arabia to discover the secrets of the frankincense tree.
One particular morning I arose from bed in a city called Salalah in southern Arabia. I’ll never forget the excitement that was in my heart as I realized that morning that Mary and I were going to travel into the mountains in eastern Oman to see, to feel, to touch, to experience the magnificence of the greatest storied tree in world history: the frankincense tree.
The excitement grew as I thought about when we would journey into the empty quarter to see the city of Od, now referred to as the lost city of Ubar—the Atlantis of the desert. A city where the trade of frankincense and myrrh and balsam took place; where fine linens and silks came across the Silk Road from China, Tibet, and India and journeyed all the way into Southern Arabia to trade for the precious ointments and the precious resins of frankincense and myrrh. A commodity that was so wealthy that the kings prized their wealth upon the volume of this great ointment and resin that they possessed. That the newborn kings and queens were anointed with these precious oils. Why? Why were these such praised and sought-after commodities?
As I stood at the foot of a frankincense tree looking up into the branches, I realized that I was touching a tree that produced a resin that could be distilled into an oil with which the Christ child may have been anointed with; an oil that was anciently regarded as being more valuable than gold; and one of the most powerful natural healing substances known. Trader ships from Sri Lanka, India, China, Japan, Egypt, and various ports of the world brought spices, linens, gold, and silver to make the journey to the lost city of Ubar to trade for the precious ointments. We read in Exodus that these substances were regarded as very special, very sacred elements:
“And the Lord said unto Moses, ‘Take unto thee sweet spices spectate and galbanum, these sweet spices with pure frankincense of each there should be a like weight. And thou shall make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together pure and holy. And thou shall beat some of it very small and put it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation where I will meet with thee. It shall be unto you most holy.’”
Stay tuned for more adventures and education about my travels and the 12 Oils of Ancient Scripture!

HOW TO OVERCOME A PANIC ATTACK USING ESSENTIAL OILS
Posted by
Try putting a few drops of lavender essence oil into some oil (olive or grape seed oil) and rub on your body. Keep a prepared mixture in a dark glass bottle for when you need it. You can even prepare several bottles, with a small one to carry with you.
Other essential oils known to help panic and panic attacks are helichrysum, frankincense, and marjoram. Smell each of them, and use what smells best to you, or a combination of your favorite oils mixed in olive or grape seed oil.
You may want to prepare yourself BEFORE a panic attack happens. When you’re not in a panicked state, make a list of the things that you’re afraid will happen. Then write out calming things that tell you the opposite of your fears. Then you can repeat these things to yourself when the panic starts to come.
Prepare a list of things to do in case of panicked feelings, and it will be ready for you when you need it. Fill it with lots of soothing messages and ideas of calming things to do. I find this to be a very helpful tool and am never without my small notebook that has these positive affirmations in it.
Panic can be a very scary thing to go through, especially if you’re alone. Preparing for when the panic comes can really help reduce the panic, and even sometimes help to prevent it.
Remember to have your favorite anti-stress essential oil with you at all times. Take a deep breath out of the bottle. Train your emotional center of the brain to answer to your favorite anti-stress essential oil with Peace & Calming!

Frankincense in Kenya and Oman Part II
Posted by
Located in Kenya is a frankincense (Boswellia carterii) distillation operation which collects resin from the coastal hills of Puntland, a region in northeastern Somalia, and extracts it in a state-of-the-art stainless steel plant near Nairobi, Kenya. The distillery is owned and operated by Dr. Haq and Dr. Osman, a Kenya native and Somali exile. They have joined together to produce one of the best frankincense essential oil distilleries in the world. Moreover, their passion for natural medicine and frankincense is awe inspiring.
Gary Young, MaryLou Jacobson, and I, Marc Schreuder, were recently on hand at the Nairobi facility to watch the steam vessel loaded with 90 kilos of grade-A resin frankincense freshly collected from Puntland tribes people, undergo a 10-hour distillation process. It was eye-opening to witness how different the distillation of frankincense resin is compared to that of traditional herbs such as rosemary and thyme.
“The resin must have certain moisture content before steam is applied,” emphasized Dr. Osman, who has a PhD in chemistry and more than 20 years of experience in the field. “This is absolutely critical in order to produce a top-grade frankincense essential oil. And the resin must be agitated during distillation to ensure uniform steam dispersion and oil extraction.”
Moreover, the separation of the oil from the floral water is even more challenging. “The steam must pass through a series of chillers and receivers to obtain proper oil separation,” stated Dr. Haq. “If separation is not performed precisely with the correct sequence and temperature, valuable components of the frankincense oil will be lost.”

Frankincense in Kenya and Oman
Posted by
A note from Gary Young:
Over the past five weeks I have traveled around the world one and a quarter times, visited eleven countries, experienced thirty-six hours of time zone changes, and took thirty flights to see our oil in production and meet with some of our partners in growing and distilling essential oils. They appreciate my personal visits and I had the opportunity to spend much time with them. They have great admiration for the mission of Young Living and respect for my twenty-seven years in the industry.
A highlight of the recent trip was inspecting frankincense sources. We traveled to Nairobi, Kenya where I was able to introduce Marc Schreuder and Mary Lou Jacobsen to our frankincense suppliers, and the final leg of our journey brought us to Oman – home to the famed Frankincense Trail. There we were privileged to explore the historical route, and felt blessed to traverse such sacred ground.
Interestingly, some companies claim they are purchasing frankincense harvested in Oman, but if they would travel there themselves, they would discover that frankincense is not commercially harvested in Oman, and there are no frankincense distilleries currently in operation there. Upon talking with Omani resin brokers they explained that the resin they export commercially is harvested in Somalia and Ethiopia and then shipped to England for distillation.
In the following blog post Marc Schreuder will recount some of our experiences in Nairobi, Kenya where we were privileged to witness Grade-A frankincense (Boswellia carterii) being distilled. There we were able to once again verify the purity of raw materials and the masterful process that produces our Young Living frankincense. There is much more to say but my time is short, please check back often for updates on my travels.
Mary and I send love and appreciation to all,
Gary
