Frankincense Tears (Boswellia spp.)
Frankincense, one of the most revered resins in the world, has been used since ancient times for ritual, healing, and spiritual purification. These natural “tears” form when the oleo-gum-resin of the Boswellia tree seeps from the bark and hardens upon exposure to air. Traditionally valued for its cleansing aroma and association with divine presence, frankincense continues to be a cornerstone for elevating space and spirit.
Physical Benefits:
Frankincense tears, rich in boswellic acids, offer several health benefits, primarily due to their significant anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties.
Anti-inflammatory & Pain Relief:
The boswellic acids in frankincense can inhibit inflammatory substances in the body. This makes it a subject of interest for managing conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, reducing joint pain, stiffness, and improving physical function. It can also help reduce inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease and asthma.
Cancer-Fighting Properties:
Some studies, particularly in animal models, suggest frankincense may have anticancer effects, potentially inhibiting tumor growth and reducing tumor size in certain cancers.
