Frankincense is mentioned 17 times in the Bible and was one of the three gifts brought to our Lord, Jesus Christ. It was also offered to Moses. The LORD said to Moses, “Take for yourself spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, spices with pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each.” Exodus 30:34

Curcumin has quality human research trials in osteoarthritis, but Frankincense also does as well. Also known as frankincense, it has been burned as incense in religious and cultural ceremonies for centuries. Frankincense  is widely regarded as an anti-inflammatory nutrient, wherein its primary active ingredient, acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA), inhibits the inflammatory enzyme 5-lipoxygenase. Excess 5-lipoxygenase is commonly found in joint pain,  respiratory conditions, allergies and cardiovascular issues. A number of new studies give insights into Frankincense, a unique nutrient, even expanding its potential usefulness.

Recent studies of Frankincense reveal the ayurvedic medicine to have many frankincense1health benefits: arthritis, diarrhea, dysentery, ringworm, boils, fevers, cardiovascular diseases, skin and blood diseases, bad throat, bronchitis, asthma, cough, vaginal discharges, mouth sores, jaundice, hemorrhoids, syphilitic diseases, hair loss, irregular menstrual cycle and it acts as a liver stimulant which helps to detoxify the liver.

A plethora of studies have been performed on Frankincense in recent years, supporting its anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory uses. It has been demonstrated to lower cholesterol, prevent plaque buildup, and cleanse the liver.
