frankincense + soothing bites


so, it is well-known that purification is the "itchy, smelly oil", meaning that it can soothe itches + bites + is also good for masking smells. we've been spraying it onto our skin (mixed with water), but right now with the surge of rain, the mosquitoes are plentiful + we have been bitten here and there.

i'm finding that my go-to for my mosquito bites is frankincense. it really calms that itchiness down.

frankincense used to be the "swiss army knife" of oils during Biblical times. makes sense, right? frankincense is indigenous to the middle east.

i also love the way it smells.

how do you use your frankincense?
