That's great for stress relief.

It's a natural adaptogen.

There was a study at Vanderbilt University on doing citrus oils like orange oil, and that actually calming patients coming out of surgery and going into surgery, including the nurses.

So there was a good study there.

A limonene oil and citrus oils, they're not distilled.

They are pressed.

And they've been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years for supporting fat digestion and moving lymphatic, for lymphatic stagnation.

It's citrus peel oil.

But anytime you see lemon oil or orange oil or grapefruit oil, those are actually citrus peel oils.

So all of those, because of D-limonene and some of the other compounds, those would all fall into that category.

So I mean, there are a lot.

I mean, I think topically, helichrysum is amazing to prevent scarring.

I think sandalwood and frankincense are good as part of a blend for skin cancers.

Really?

Yeah, yeah.

I think generally, the oil itself is most studied for maybe its immune properties.

The powder, which we call boswellia or boswellic acid, is most studied for its anti-inflammatory properties.

We pair that a lot with turmeric.

for those benefits.

So yeah, so in the Bible, it talks a lot about these different essential oils and their uses.
