frankincense1285x196Frankincense has a deep history and respected reputation as a healing substance. Recent studies uncovering even more of it's healing actions are even outwaying it's legendary reputation and showing why this precious oil has been so highly prized throughout the ages.

Frankincense was well known during the time of Christ as a treatment for a wide range of ailments. In fact, it is mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records, Ebers Papyrus, which lists frankincense in hundreds of prescriptions and recipes. This "holy anointing oil" was valued more than gold during this time, and only those with great wealth and abundance possessed it.

Today, there are 63 specific scientific studies on file at PubMed on frankincense's effects. The amazing thing about frankincense is that it accomplishes many effects without harming the body.

One of the amazing qualities of frankincense is that it seems to have an inherent intelligence. It has the ability to detect whether a cell is normal or not normal. It will only go after and eradicate cells that are not normal. It also has the ability to moderate inflammatory response.

Another surprising thing about frankincense is that is has a "reset" function that can tell a cell what its correct DNA should be. It has the ability to moderate inflammatory response and has a positive and calming effect on the nervous system and the brain.

Here are just a few of the studies:

Frankincense Kills Bladder Cancer
Frankincense oil derived from Boswellia carteri induces tumor cell specific cytotoxicity

"Conclusion – Frankincense oil appears to distinguish cancerous from normal bladder cells and suppress cancer cell viability.

Frankincense oil might represent an alternative intravesical agent for bladder cancer treatment."

While many essential oil companies have cited this research to sell their frankincense oil, please note that it was Young Living's Boswellia carteri that was used in this research.
