Frankincense
This is one of my favorite oils because of all the research that supports its used as a natural healer. In Exodus 30:34 and Revelation 18:13, frankincense is mentioned as part of the incense for a priestly rite and as an indication of wealth and prosperity in spice trade.
Biblical Uses:
A part of ceremonial offerings (Leviticus 2, 5, 6, 24; Numbers 5, 1 Chronicles 9, Nehemiah 13)
A holy ceremonial perfume (Exodus 30:34)
A perfume (Song of Solomon 3:6; 4:6)
A precious commodity – potential currency (Isaiah 60:6; Jeremiah 6:20; Revelations 18:13)
The gifts of the Magi to the Christ child (Mathew 2:11)
As a healing remedy, frankincense oil, (sometimes referred to as gum of olibanum), is a common type of essential oil used in aromatherapy that can offer a variety of health benefits, including, helping to relieve chronic stress and anxiety, reducing pain and inflammation, boosting immunity and even potentially helping to fight cancer.
Frankincense is not only antimicrobial but also an immunostimulantor (stimulates the immune system).
