Frankincense has been used for over 5,000 years as a medicinal and spiritual oil. It is completely tied into the holiday season, used throughout biblical times and for thousands of years previous. It was used in ancient Egypt as one of the key oils for enhancing the ascension process, both for spiritual development and for medicinal purposes. It was considered a ceremonial oil by early Christians, and throughout the middle east and Africa. Its beneficial effects on the human energy field are well known by many cultures.
Frankincense is a powerful digestive system tonic. It improves digestion, relieves gas, soothes intestines, and relieves burping. All of this can be done by simply rubbing it on the surface of the abdomen. For severe indigestion, a drop or 2 of frankincense can be placed in a quart of water and a tablespoon of this mixture swallowed; or it can be used as a compress on the abdomen.
It has anticancer properties, and is effective against prostate cancer, brain tumors, and blood diseases. It is an extremely helpful oil for treating cancer herbally, and I have used it in boluses, tonic formulas, and applied externally for this purpose. It is especially helpful with breast cancer, prostate cancer, uterine and cervical cancers, skin cancers, and brain tumors.
When using frankincense to support healing of brain tumors, it is helpful to inhale from a diffuser at least twice a day, in addition to taking internal herbal support. Remember, healing any form of cancer naturally means using herbs, supplements, dietary changes, lifestyle changes, and addressing the underlying causal factors. It is important to get many forms of support in order to create a healing outcome.
It is one of the best oils for establishing endocrine balance, and works particularly well for restoring the pineal and pituitary glands. It relieves anxiety, tension, depression, and nightmares.
