Did you know Frankincense can prevent and reverse premature balding? And eliminate tooth pain and stop wound infections?
Frankincense is derived from the sap of the Boswellia tree when the bark is cut. The resin is allowed to harden, then either dried or steamed to yield essential oils. It is edible (be sure to only ingest food-grade frankincense from a reputable source) and is often chewed like gum. When burned as incense or steamed in vaporizers, frankincense gives off a sweet, earthy, woodsy scent.
Highly revered and traded for over 5000 years, Frankincense was once worth more than its weight in gold as ancient peoples used it for a myriad of irritations, conditions, and diseases.
Today, we continue to find more and more health benefits to this simple tree sap. Read on for the many health benefits of Frankincense and why you should have a bottle in your BOB and medicine cabinet.
