Frankincense Essential Oil Proves to Be Anti-Cancerous
By Linda Lee Smith
Frankincense (Boswellia
carteri) trees were considered extremely valuable during
ancient times and their location was often a matter of
state secret. Egyptians used the incense to fumigate
their homes, for ritual incense and the oil for
cosmetics. It was used as a holy anointing oil and as a
general cure-all for all diseases. It was also used to
enhance meditation and elevate spiritual consciousness.
History shows it was used for embalming and as a perfume
AND formed an important part of the Sabbath day
offering. Frankincense or olibanum was mentioned in the
Scriptures over 50 times and is found in the books of
Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Chronicles, Nehemiah, Song
of Solomon, Isaiah, Matthew, and Revelations.
The actions of frankincense include anti-inflammatory,
anti-tumoral, immune-stimulant, antidepressant and
muscle relaxing. It stimulates the limbic system as well
as the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands. It is
strongly anti-viral, antioxidant, antifungal,
antibacterial, antiseptic and expectorant oil.
Frankincense has the ability to relax and revitalize at
the same time.
Cancer Research Using Frankincense
There are a few researchers studying the effects of
frankincense on various cancers with some degree of
success. In vitro effects show inhibition or stimulation
of cell proliferation depending on the concentration of
frankincense oil in the growth media. A recent study
conducted at the University of Oklahoma showed that
frankincense kills bladder cancer cells without harming
surrounding tissue.
Studies are showing frankincense to be a strong
immune-stimulant with some claiming that frankincense
has the ability to repair DNA. A Chinese study conducted
in 2000 indicated that Boswellia has "anti-carcinogenic
and anti-tumor activities." These boswellic acids from
frankincense inhibited "a variety of malignant cells" in
people suffering from leukemia and brain tumors. The
Cancer Research Institute of the University of Nevada
treated cervical cancer with frankincense, in which
"there was 72% inhibition and growth of non-cancerous
cells." Other studies have shown that boswellic acids
from frankincense exert antiprolifertive activity toward
a variety of malignant cells. Another study showed that
boswellic acids are potent apoptotic agents to cancer
cells and another one shows that Boswellic acids from
frankincense gum exhibit potent cytotoxic activity
against CNS tumors.
Why Hasn't the General Public Heard about This? It
sounds incredulous but the anti-cancerous effects of
frankincense has been known for thousands of years. Does
it work for everyone? No, but compared to the effects of
chemotherapy, frankincense DOES show
great promise now and in the future. Frankincense will
never be promoted for the breakthrough that it is
because there is no money to be made in its promotion.
Frankincense is expensive in comparison to other
therapeutic grade oils but "cheap" in comparison to
drugs like chemotherapy.
