Did you know that the Boswellia sacra trees have been harvested for the past 5,000 years? Frankincense Oil is extracted from the gum or resin from Frankincense or Bosewellia sacra tree. It has even been found in the remains of ancient Egyptian and Anglo-Saxon civilizations.
Frankincense is native to North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula and has been cultivated and traded for at least 5000 years. It is mentioned several times in the Jewish Talmud and the Christian Bible as it was used in some of their sacred rituals and still is in some Orthodox traditions. Frankincense was also used ceremonially as an incense and/or offering by ancient Pagans in Persia, Babylonia, Egypt, Greece and Rome.
The trees start producing resin when they are about 8 to 10 years old.
The resin is extracted by making a small, shallow incision on the trunk or branches of the tree or by removing a portion of the crust of it. The resin is drained as a milky substance that coagulates in contact with air and is collected by hand.
It can be used in tonics to ensure good digestion and clear skin. Frankincense used internally should be clear and free of dark impurities.
Research trials are proving it’s a vital treatment for:
Brain, Breast, Colon, Pancreas, Prostate and Stomach cancer.
Sacred Frankincense (Boswellia sacra) inhibits the faulty signaling and cell cycle regulation that is thought to cause the development of cancer in the first place. It causes cancer cell death without harming healthy cells. Cancer starts when the DNA code within the cell’s nucleus becomes corrupted. It seems frankincense has a re-set function. It can tell the cell what the right DNA code should be.
According to researchers out of Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, the potential cancer-killing effects of frankincense are due in part to its ability to influence your genes to promote healing. Baylor cancer scientists emphasize that this potency makes Boswellia sacra a viable candidate for both cancer prevention and treatment.
