Frankincense, also known as olibanum, has been used since ancient times for its various health and spiritual benefits. This resinous material is derived from the Boswellia tree and contains anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant compounds that can help prevent or alleviate a range of ailments such as arthritis, asthma, and digestive disorders.
Studies have also shown that frankincense has cancer-fighting properties due to its ability to suppress the growth of certain types of tumor cells. The essential oil derived from frankincense is often used in aromatherapy practices to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. In addition to physical health benefits, frankincense is believed to enhance spiritual awareness and clarity by aiding in meditation and prayer.
