What is Better than Frankincense?
Did you know that frankincense and myrrh have similar chemical compositions and share many of the same therapeutic properties.
They both contain compounds that have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial effects, making them a potent pair in fighting pain.
Frankincense essential oil is high in monoterpenes, which have anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic effects, making it useful for reducing inflammation and promoting relaxation. Myrrh essential oil, on the other hand, is high in sesquiterpenes, which have a calming effect on the nervous system that helps to ease and reduce pain. 
 
Myrrh’s powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic compounds have a gentle anti-inflammatory effect, which help to sooth and calm swelling while blocking pain signals from reaching the brain. This makes it a great alternative to over-the-counter pain medication, which often comes with unwanted side effects.
 
In addition to its pain-relieving properties, myrrh essential oil can also act as a muscle relaxant, helping to relieve tension and reduce pain associated with muscle spasms. It can also stimulate blood flow, which can promote healing and regeneration of tissues.
 
One of the things I love most about myrrh essential oil is its calming effect on the mind and body. It can help reduce stress and anxiety. When your body is more relaxed and at ease, it can better cope with pain and inflammation. This makes it a great choice for those looking for a natural way to manage pain and promote overall well-being.
 
In addition to their shared therapeutic properties, there is a long history of frankincense and myrrh being used together. In fact, they are often mentioned together in historical texts and religious writings, and they were both gifts that were given to the baby Jesus in the Christian tradition.
 
When used together, frankincense and myrrh essential oil complement each other and enhance their therapeutic benefits. Their combined anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects reduce pain and inflammation more effectively than using either oil alone.
 
If you are suffering from pain I highly recommend that you try using these two power oils together. I buy them in roll-on bottles and apply to both oils directly to the pain points for the best relief I have ever experienced. Try it for yourself!
