Frankincense, the aromatic resin of Christian nativity fame, probably deserved its high regard by the three wise men. At the very least it may have helped Mary recover from childbirth. The resin has been used in the Middle East for more than 6000 years, mostly in religious rites.
Clinical research indicates that frankincense, alone or in combination formulas, may be beneficial for gingivitis, asthma, diabetes, irritable bowel syndrome, collagenous colitis, Crohn’s disease, urinary tract infection, stress urinary incontinence, breast density, mastalgia, menorrhagia, osteoarthritis (OA), memory impairment, psoriasis, eczema, photoaging, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, and radiation-induced brain edema"
The toning and rejuvenating properties of frankincense make it one of the most important oils for invigorating the complexion, particularly for mature skin, and repairing skin damage. It has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities, which make it useful for healing wounds. Its distinctive aroma has a soothing effect on the nervous system than can both uplift and calm.
