Medicinal properties:

Frankincense has been studied to cross the blood-brain barrier, carrying oxygen and nutrients to the pineal and pituitary glands within the brain. The active components called sesquiterpenes found in these plants impart the well-known action to balance stress and support the nervous system and promote brain health. This has a psychologically grounding, calming, and stabilizing effect with a peaceful and gentle sedative quality.

Culturally these plants have been used by herbal healers to boost immunity and support the body to fight a number of respiratory states such as cold, cough, bronchitis, asthma and pneumonia by drying mucous and relieving congestion in the lungs and sinuses. They have also shown to promote immune regulation as seen in a depleted immune system or calm an over-active immune system as well as assist the body’s ability to remove toxins through the lymph nodes and lymphatic system. This may also be associated with the clearing of stagnant fluid from the tissues through the kidneys through diuresis.

Traditionally herbalists also used these plants to support the body against skin complaints such as acne, eczema, and fungal growth as well as healing wounds, preventing scars and stretchmarks and toning and rejuvenating aged skin. They have also been used for a healthy scalp and preventing dandruff and hair loss and psoriasis.
