In the ancient Song of Solomon, there is a line that reads, “I will journey over the mountain of myrrh and the hill of frankincense, and I will not return until the day rises with cool winds and the sun and shadows fly away.” This quote not only paints a beautiful picture, but also hints at the importance of frankincense.

Boosting Immunity: In this year's epidemic, we are acutely aware of the importance of immunity. Scientific studies have shown that plant extracts such as frankincense, turmeric and citrus have a significant effect on boosting the human immune system. Experiments have proven that Boswellia extracts are effective in increasing the number of total T-cells and CD4+ T-cells in mice, thus boosting immunity. Using or taking frankincense internally on a daily basis can help you better cope with various challenges.

Plant Story

The frankincense tree, a perennial tree, is found in India, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and other vast regions. Frankincense essential oil, a natural plant extract, is derived from the distillation of frankincense resin, which is presented to the world after the bark is cut, the resin flows out naturally and is collected and distilled. In addition, supercritical extraction technology is also widely used in the extraction of frankincense. Frankincense, a spice that occupies an important position in both Eastern and Western religions, has a unique odor that not only uplifts the mind, but also helps to enter a meditative state, thus exuding a strong religious flavor. In the Bible, frankincense not only symbolizes the kingdom of heaven, but also represents Jesus.

The Many Benefits of Frankincense
Frankincense, a spice with a long history, has been widely used in religious ceremonies and medicinal preparations since ancient times. Its unique aroma and antimicrobial properties have always been appreciated. In medieval times, frankincense was prized as a rare commodity and was often used in perfumes and medicines. Today, frankincense essential oil is the star ingredient in aromatherapy and personal care products designed to bring relaxation, calmness and anxiety relief. It is important to note that the chemical composition of frankincense essential oil may vary from one source to another. For example, Frankincense essential oils from India are rich in alpha-thymolene, while those from Somalia are dominated by beta-acetic acid, and those from China are dominated by beta-indole aldehyde. These subtle chemical differences also give different origins of frankincense essential oils unique aromas and effects. For example, Frankincense essential oil from China is known for its woody aroma, which is effective in calming the emotions, relieving anxiety and tension, as well as helping to maintain healthy skin and prevent skin aging, and effectively eliminating bad breath and bad taste in the mouth caused by periodontitis or other oral infections.

The utility of frankincense has been widely explored in numerous literatures, especially its relationship with cancer. It is important to note that while most essential oils have anti-cancer potential, the actual cancer-preventive effects of essential oils need to be further investigated. In addition, frankincense has a remarkable effect on the healing of skin wounds and is suitable for a variety of traumatic inflammatory conditions. At the same time, its excellent anti-infective ability is not only beneficial to the skin, but also effective in relieving the symptoms of inflammation of mucous membranes, such as the respiratory tract, oral mucous membranes, pubic and anal mucous membranes and other parts of the recurring inflammation problem.

According to the profound theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), frankincense essential oil is closely related to the heart meridian, where “heart meridian” does not only refer to the heart, but also refers to the heart meridian, a concept that occupies a pivotal position in the system of TCM. The heart meridian is the main channel for the body's internal energy, which runs through the entire body and regulates all physiological functions. Through its interaction with the heart meridian, Frankincense essential oil can effectively balance emotions, relieve stress, and demonstrate anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, sedative, and analgesic effects.
