Healing Benefits of Frankincense

Essential Oils are found in the seeds, bark, stems, roots, flowers, and other parts of plants. Besides their intrinsic benefits to plants (ex. plant pollination) and being beautifully fragrant to people, essential oils have long been used for food preparation, beauty treatment, and health-care practices. Essential oils have healing benefits and they’re a powerful complement to your wellbeing.

Whether you’re applying essential oils on your skin, enjoying the aromatic benefits through diffusing, or taking essential oils internally (used as dietary supplement), the positive effects of essential oils are boundless. But it wasn’t until I watched a summit about cancer that my interest on Frankincense and Myrrh essential oils awakened. It really showed me another perspective how to deal with CANCER.

Nowadays, you heard more and more cases, and it is sad! But it really touches deeply inside when it happens to a close friend, family, and a child. I have felt it!

First, was my aunt, a nice person who was positive and strong enough to recover, then my father, it wasn’t malignant, but still, they are not the same emotionally and physically.

And last year (2016), was Bruce, my friend and work colleague. What an amazing person, so strong, and I saw him fighting until the last minute. He never gave up. And I really thought that he would win the fight, but unfortunately he didn’t.

**Cancer is not a disease. Cancer is the physical symptom reflecting your body’s final attempt to eliminate specific life-destructive causes. Causes that can be physical, emotional or spiritual.**

According to Dr.Z, advances in recent researches suggest that Beta-elemene – a cancer fighting terpene found in frankincense and myrrh with the ability to cross the blood brain barrier – may be partly responsible for improving quality of life in cancer patients. Below are the benefits of this particular essential oil in your health.

BENEFITS OF FRANKINCENSE IN YOUR HEALTH

1- Boosting the Immune System

The immune system is intricate and interacts with every system of the body to prevent and fight disease. So a weak immune system leads to health problems. The bottom line is that multiple areas of the immune system are regulated under the influence of frankincense.

2- Fighting Pain and Inflammation

Frankincense oil is a powerful tool not only for acute illness but for chronic and autoimmune disorders such as Crohn’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, and bronchial asthma. While inflammatory conditions are often painful, frankincense can help with other pain relief, for example used for pain in muscles, intestinal discomfort, and arthritic pain.

3 – Preventing & “Treating” Cancer

This is a controversial topic in the natural health and research world. Much more research must be done. But while specific answers may come slowly, it’s plain to see that the potential and properties exist. With few to no side effects associated with frankincense essential oil, we have little to lose and much to gain when adding it to our daily routines or pairing it with cancer protocols in conjunction with an oncological approach.

ATTENTION

Because of its blood thinning effects, frankincense may cause abnormal bleeding in people taking anticoagulant medications. Consult a physician in case if you are taking any medicine.
Frankincense can stimulate or increase menstrual flow; therefore, pregnant and nursing women should not use this oil as it can be dangerous for the unborn fetus. Consult a physician before giving frankincense to children under the age of six.
Oils need to be 100% Pure and GMO Free.

KEEP YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM STRONG

Keeping your immune system strong protects the body against illness and infection caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites.

The powerful role that frankincense plays in immunity, inflammatory control, pain relief, and anti-cancer potential makes it a necessary supplement to have around the house “just in case.” Vaporizers, salves, supplementation and diffusion are all beneficial ways to use it.

The immune system is important to cancer patients in many ways because:

Cancer can weaken the immune system
Cancer treatments may weaken the immune system
The immune system may help to fight cancer
