I would like to try Frankincense to help prevent stretch marks during pregnancy. Do you know how much of the oil is recommended? Thanks
Hi Lisa–A gal in my group followed this protocol with good results: 10 drops each Geranium and Lavender, 5 drops Frankincense, and the remainder Fractionated Coconut Oil in a 10 ml roller bottle. Spread over entire abdomen 2 x per day–rubbed it in a bit, then rubbed in more FCO to help with itching. Good luck! 🙂
That’s so great! 🙂

Can i use frankincense while pregnant?
how do you use for gum health?
hi, I use Frank directly on face for age spots, at times I see diff, but if I skip a day or so they sorta come back, but I keep going because my brain says it works! I then apply my body cream I made, Organic Coconut Oil, bunch of drops of Frank in, whip w mixer till like butter and put in jar. I rub it on face and arms/legs. I also think my arms show less age spots, I forget the legs so don’t see it there so much. I guess just the skin showing on body! good luck w it 🙂
