I was in church on Sunday and my throat had that funny tickle, you know the one, like a frog is in there. You want to keep coughing and coughing and coughing.
Not even water will make it stop.
So, I grabbed my Frankincense out of my purse and rubbed a couple drops directly on my neck (yes, I never leave home without my oils 🙂) and within a minute, the ‘tickle’ was completely gone. I stopped coughing and was able to focus on the sermon!
So glad I didn’t have to leave and get water and miss half of it. In the little ways of life, oils save the day all the time.
“When in doubt, use Frankincense,” I always say. This essential oil quite literally does EVERYTHING. Here’s a list of SOME of the things it can do!!! Check out the 80 uses for frankincense essential oil below…
