Due to their many other benefits, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK65874\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">essential oils<\/a> and other integrative modalities can also offer a secular approach to the emotional and calming benefits found in religious practices, prayer, and meditation. This fact naturally led to an in-depth discussion of one of the most sacred oils, frankincense. As one of my favorite oils, it is also a perfect holistic tool for spreading good cheer throughout the year, as it is inclusive to all beliefs and practices.<\/p>\n<p>Frankincense starred in my series for a few weeks because it has so much evidence for supporting physical, emotional, and spiritual health. For the scientifically curious and essential oils enthusiasts, I went into the molecular nitty-gritty details on its many beneficial compounds as well as deciphering the main effects of the four most popular <a href=\"http:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/video-the-wrap-up-on-the-remedy-for-fussing-over-the-right-frankincense-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">varieties. <\/a>I offered some of the take-home points and summary in my video which you can <a href=\"http:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/video-the-wrap-up-on-the-remedy-for-fussing-over-the-right-frankincense-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">access here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/how-essential-oils-and-spirituality-can-help-one-cope-with-addictions-during-the-holidays-a-link-to-november-2018-holistic-and-integrative-medicine-top-reads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In last week\u2019s article, I expanded<\/a> on the topics of spirituality and essential oils for coping with stressful triggers and dealing with addictions during the holidays.
