My earliest memories of Frankincense was the smell of incense burning in the church, and my mother using it to purify our home. It has a strong, unforgettable pungent aroma.
Frankincense has been used for over 5000 years and referenced in the Christmas story as one of the forms of medicine brought to the baby Jesus by the three wise kings. It is still used today and is popular with many cultures.
Frankincense has many health benefits ranging from anti-aging skin benefits to easing arthritis pain. Dr Mercola has written a really useful guide for the use of frankincense and how you can make it yourself. I have also added a video you might like to watch by Dr Josh Axe. Dr Axe talks about the many benefits and uses including as a possible cancer cure. It’s a very educational video, and I recommend you watch it. You can skip the article and jump straight to the video if you wish. Continue next to find out more about this valuable oil. Please share this article if you enjoyed it. Thank You!
