Frankincense

Frankincense oil and resin
Scientific name: Boswellia carteri

For many millennia, this oil has been considered a most sacred and valuable oil.  It was used in the religious ceremonies of the ancient Hebrews, as recorded in the Old Testament.  In fact, the Bible mentions frankincense more than 50 times.*  One well-known example is in the Gospel of Matthew, where you can read about wise men from the east, who gave the child Jesus gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Frankincense is famous for its healing powers.  In ancient times it was used to treat all kinds of illness or injury.*  And its potency has not decreased to this day.  It is useful for many skin conditions.**  It has even been used in cancer treatment!  And it won't make your hair fall out, or cause any other undesirable effects.  They say it also helps relieve depression.*

Frankincense is certainly a great gift from God to humanity!
