How Frankincense Helped my Mom with Alzheimer's to Talk

I remember so well the day my mom confided in me how much it embarrassed  her that she was forgetting words when out walking with her friends.   My  mother was  a sweet, light-hearted, silly, affectionate woman and all of a sudden, in the space of less than a year, her health started  to rapidly deteriorate.  She went  from being a healthy, active middle-aged woman to a (still) silly and affectionate woman , but who could no longer open doors with knobs that needed to be twisted instead of pulled straight. And she was losing her ability to articulate her thoughts, which was even sadder to watch and I'm sure much more difficult to experience, especially for someone who loved people as much as she did.    Alzheimer's is a treacherous  thief and I knew I couldn't "save" the belongings in her mind, but I wanted to help her to  continue to enjoy socializing for as long as possible. 

As a consulting herbalist and nutritionist I knew that Frankincense resin was highly acknowledged  for memory and brain function.  I had also  seen it   successful at  mobilizing speech for two of my young autistic clients.  So,  I looked at Frankincense to help my mom to reclaim her brain functions, especially  to find the words to express herself again.  I'm so glad that I did!
