the healing power of frankincense
Could God have given us this most precious oil of Frankincense for a time such as this with rampant cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure? Is the international research showing the chemical constituents that are in Young Living’s Frankincense and Sacred Frankincense to be of value to many on their healing journeys?
Israeli scientist Arieh Moussaieff along with his team of researchers discovered a constituent called incensole acetate, which may be the reason for Frankincense being used in cultural and religious ceremonies since ancient times. They found that it triggered an ion channel in the brain that involved the emotions, and had an anti-anxiety effect and also helped with moods.
As a Holy Oil used for anointing in the Middle East, Frankincense has lately been used in European and American hospitals and is the subject of much research. It is a priceless ingredient in many skin care products for dry and aging skin, and is found in the men’s cologne Old Spice. It is elevating and stimulating to the mind with its warm, sweet scent that is reminiscent of a church’s incense burning.
The National Library of Medicine speaks of a purified mixture of boswellic acids from Boswellia carteri resin exhibits positive immune effects. The high sesquiterpines allow it to go beyond the blood-brain barrier, and help to oxygenate the pineal and pituitary glands. Due to the increase in leukocyte activity, it helps the body’s defense against infection.
Omani Frankincense is the rarest and most sought after oil in the world. Boswellia sacra is the only frankincense species to grow in the Arabian kingdom of Oman. Young Living now has a distillery in Oman, in partnership with Dr. Suhail in Salalah, Oman which is a rare combination and partnership in that part of the world. The oil Sacred Frankincense is known for its high levels on incensole acetate for spiritual connection and grounding.
In cancer circles, many are turning to Frankincense for lymphedema. When I teach on the value and power of God’s medicines through our oils, I mention a client who was told to live with the pain and swelling in her arm after 9 lymph nodes were removed during her breast cancer journey. An option was to buy a $10,000 machine to have at home to massage her 3x per day. She was not going this route, and instead turned to Young Living’s Frankincense for the natural way. She applied 6 drops on her arm 5-6 times per day, and over the next 3 months, her lymphedema was gone, with no more swelling, nor pain, and full mobility in her arm. We have all we need ~ God saw to that.
