Earthy Essential Oils

Myrrh Essential Oil is a resin, or sap-like substance, that comes from a tree called Commiphora myrrha, common in Africa or the Middle East. The essential oil is made from the sap via steam distillation. Two primary active compounds are found in myrrh, called terpenoids and sesquiterpenes, both of which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Sesquiterpenes specifically also have an effect on our emotional center in the hypothalamus, helping us remain calm and balanced. 

Pine Essential Oil is the oil obtained from the tree commonly known as pine, which has the Latin or scientific name Pinus Sylvestris. Pine oil is extracted through steam distillation of the needle-like foliage of the pine tree. Pine oil has antimicrobial, antiseptic, antifungal, anti-neuralgic, and anti-rheumatic properties.

Frankincense oil is considered a tonic, as it benefits all the systems operating in the body, including the digestive, respiratory, nervous, and excretory systems. It also aids the absorption of nutrients and strengthens your immune system. Frankincense oil has been found useful for certain health conditions, such as:

• Arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) — Research by Cardiff University scientists found that frankincense can inhibit the production of key inflammatory molecules, helping prevent the breakdown of the cartilage tissue that causes these conditions.
