What is frankincense?
Frankincense comes from the resin of the Boswellia tree, native to regions of the Middle East, North Africa, and India. Known for its warm, earthy aroma with hints of pine and citrus, frankincense is commonly used in religious rituals, meditation practices, and as a natural remedy in various cultures throughout ancient history.
In the bible frankincense is compared to the value of gold in the story of the 3 Wise Kings who brought the newborn child Jesus Christ “treasures of gold, frankincense and myrrh.”
Frankincense contains several beneficial compounds, including boswellic acid, which has anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and pain-relieving properties. These compounds make frankincense a versatile and potent natural remedy

Unfortunately the (new) medical industry ignores this precious resin as they are unable to separate and/or create a fake version. Since they are unable to patent a natural product for profit, they don’t talk about it much and funding is not used for exploring and proving the benefits.
