Description
Frankincense 100% Pure Essential Oil, also known as Olibanum, is said to help the digestive system properly detox and produce bowel movements. Research indicates that it may also help to reduce pain and cramping in the stomach, relieve nausea, flush out excess water from the abdomen that can cause bloating, and even relieve PMS-related stomach pains.
Traditional medicine has used frankincense to treat bronchitis and asthma for centuries. Research suggests that its compounds may prevent the production of leukotrienes, which cause the bronchial muscles to constrict in asthma.
It can be useful in helping prevent the breakdown of the cartilage tissue and has been shown to significantly reduce painful inflammation, making it a natural treatment option for pain-related conditions that affect the muscles, joints and tendons, such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The boswellic acids it provides appear to have strong antibacterial properties, which may help prevent and treat oral infections. The resin is commonly chewed for better oral health.
Frankincense oil is also touted as an effective natural anti-acne and anti-wrinkle remedy and may assist in reducing those unattractive sun-spots.
Frankincense oil is used by either inhaling the oil or absorbing it through the skin, usually mixed with a carrier oil or cream. It is believed that the oil transmits messages to the limbic system of the brain, which is known to influence the nervous system. A little bit of oil goes a long way, and it should not be ingested in large quantities as it can be toxic.
