Frankincense is my favorite and main go to. I infuse resin in castor oil. It's much better than the EO as it pulls more of the boswellic acids and other nutrients that distillation strips in order to obtain an EO and castor oil is THE deepest penetrating oil you can use on your skin..

Tis' the season to talk about Frankincense!

Upon finding Jesus, “they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh”

Frankincense has been highly valued for millennia. It is a resin that comes from the Boswellia tree and it is a powerful anti-inflammatory.

Traditional medicine has used frankincense to treat bronchitis and asthma for centuries. Its compounds may prevent the production of leukotrienes, which cause the bronchial muscles to constrict in asthma.

Frankincense may help reduce the symptoms of osteo and rheumatoid arthritis. I personally use it for my hip and lower back pain.

Frankincense may improve oral health. I like to chew the resin like gum. One study showed it killed the bacteria that causes gum disease.

Frankincense may improve gut health. Studies show it helps with IBS, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease.

Salves made with Frankincense may help eczema and psoriasis. It can also be used in anti-aging formulas. I like to infuse resin into oil and use it on my face at night.

Frankincense shows anticancer properties in the lab. Test-tube studies suggest Boswellic acids may prevent DNA formation in cancerous cells, which could help limit cancer growth and prevent spreading.Test-tube studies show Frankincense can kill breast, pancreatic, prostate, skin and colon cancer cells without harming healthy cells. It may also help reduce side effects of cancer treatment.One study of people being treated for brain tumors, 4,500 mg of boswellic acid extract taken each day helped reduce brain edema while also lowering participants’ regular medication dose.

Frankincense is pretty amazing stuff! It's no wonder the wise men brought Jesus this powerful healing herb.
