A customer of mine suffers from sores that develop in her mouth that typically last about two weeks. She used frankincense and gargled (only once!) and it was almost all gone the next day. She thought of using it because I said it had amazing restorative properties!

These kind of stories are what prompted me to do a lot of research on essential oils and their properties.  I am always in awe of what they can do but I NEED to know HOW AND WHY!  What is the mechanism by which the compounds in the oils can support the body in recovering so quickly?

Essential oils are antimicrobial, which means they can have an impact on the harmful microbes responsible for soreness, infections, and diseases. Similarly, they have anti-inflammatory properties to control the infection and cooling abilities to get relief from the literal pain caused by these lesions.

Here are some other oils that can work.
