Frankincense is the resin of a tree that grows wild in Southeast Asia, used in traditional medicine for more than 4,000 years and which in the last ten to twenty years has become the subject of hundreds of modern medical studies. This plant is a true revelation in therapy, being used to treat some of the most serious diseases of our time, such as cancer, asthma, memory and reasoning disorders, and chronic joint diseases. The range of conditions in which frankincense is used successfully is astonishingly large.
The extract used is standardized for boswellic acid content; this substance should be present at a minimum proportion of 40% for optimal therapeutic effects. There are also non-standardized frankincense extracts, but the results obtained with these are weak. The standardized frankincense extract has therapeutic uses with demonstrated efficacy in over 100 diseases, some very serious.
Frankincense and cancer
According to all research so far, boswellic acid from frankincense is one of the most active anti-tumor agents known. How does it work? In several ways, but the best-known mechanism is the selective attack on cancer cells. Unlike synthetic cytostatics, which affect both malignant and healthy cells, frankincense extract causes destruction only of cells that have undergone mutations.
It is also worth noting the use of frankincense extract as an adjuvant in radiotherapy used in cancer. Specifically, this remedy reduces by 60% the edema that appears after therapeutic irradiation, helps protect healthy tissues, stimulates the elimination of dead tissue and tissue fragments, and supports overall recovery of the body.
Frankincense and rheumatism
This plant is a true phenomenon in the fight against joint diseases. When taken internally, frankincense in extract form reduces pain and joint inflammation, increases joint flexibility, and enhances physical capacity (it has been shown, for example, to allow patients with rheumatoid arthritis or knee osteoarthritis to walk longer distances).
Frankincense, asthma, chronic bronchitis and pulmonary emphysema. A three-month treatment with frankincense extract, administered orally, reduces allergic sensitivity of the middle and lower airways, clears the bronchial tree of excess secretions, and eases inhalation and exhalation.
Frankincense, depression and anxiety
A single dose of frankincense increases mental tone and the mind’s readiness for activity, promptly eliminating states of obsessive sadness, apathy, and lack of initiative. Courses of several weeks with frankincense induce a state of psychological stability, preventing the appearance of fear states without apparent reason, such as panic attacks.
Frankincense and benign breast tumors
Boswellic acid from frankincense, administered in 3-month courses, reduces the inflammation and pain produced by benign breast tumor formations, known as nodules (which can be adenomas, adeno-fibromas, fibro-cysts). Also, frankincense extract standardized for boswellic acid reduces, over time, the size of benign breast tumors and dramatically decreases their risk of malignancy.
Frankincense and the liver
Frankincense extract protects the liver from the harmful effects of psychological stress, certain toxic substances (medications, alcohol, synthetic food additives, etc.), as well as from viruses. In patients with progressive chronic hepatitis, administration of frankincense extract halts the liver fibrotic process and the progression toward cirrhosis.
Frankincense, the cardiovascular system and the heart
Three-month courses help keep blood vessels intact (they improve the flexibility and strength of vascular walls). They also prevent the formation of blood clots and inflammation of the veins (phlebitis). For the heart, frankincense has protective effects, preventing disorders of blood supply to the cardiac muscle and myocardial infarction.
Frankincense and diabetes
Systematic administration of frankincense extract leads to a gradual reduction in blood glucose in non–insulin-dependent diabetics. In all types of diabetics, frankincense taken orally has a particularly protective effect on the kidneys, liver and nervous system.
