Bible nutrition educator Mike Adams discussed the many benefits of frankincense during his 51st sermon on the "Health Ranger Report," part of his 100 Sermons series. He based this sermon on the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, with a passage making mention of "cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense" (Revelation 18:13). Frankincense is clearly depicted in the Bible as something of great value to be taken away from cities like Babylon that turned against God, Adams remarked. It is also depicted as a gift, with frankincense being one of the three gifts given to the Child Jesus alongside gold and myrrh (Matthew 2:11). According to Adams, frankincense is made through incisions cut into the bark of the frankincense shrub. The milky juice that comes out the incisions hardens into tears, which are then collected after a few weeks. This aromatic gum from the frankincense shrub is "used for incense, perfume, holy ointments and as a fumigant," he remarked, adding that it is "highly esteemed by the Egyptians for embalming and fumigating." In Lebanon, frankincense is primarily favored as incense and then as a medicine or cosmetic. In Tanzania, frankincense resin is boiled in sesame oil and taken to address schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease. East Africans use frankincense resin to treat syphilis, while Asian Indians use the resin for rheumatism and nervous system disorders. Meanwhile, the Chinese use frankincense for urogenital ailments. Elsewhere in Asia, frankincense is used for leprosy and rheumatism aside from repelling mosquitoes.

Frankincense is widely used in medicine

The founder of Natural News and Brighteon.com said that aside from being an important ingredient of incense and perfume, frankincense is also widely used in medicine. He cited the book of Dr. James Duke titled "The Herbs of the Bible," which listed several benefits of frankincense as treatment against dysentery, fever, gonorrhea and polyps. Adams mentioned that a 35-grain dose of frankincense is said to improve a person's memory. Inhaling frankincense vapors is said to alleviate bronchitis and laryngitis, he added. In the world of natural medicine, people use frankincense – including its essential oil – to address cancer. (Related: Frankincense oil kills cancer cells while boosting the immune system, studies show.) He cited a study published May 2019 in Oncotarget about frankincense essential oil suppressing melanoma (a type of skin cancer). According to the study, frankincense essential oil in both in vitro and in vivo models "induces a significant dose-dependent reduction in the cell viability of both mouse and human melanoma cells." Frankincense essential oil was also found to help protect the liver from damage caused by the painkiller acetaminophen. It also reversed the damage caused by this prescription drug. "Frankincense is known to induce tumor remission, apoptosis or cell death of cancer cells, and it's known to protect the liver," Adams remarked, adding that frankincense is readily available as an essential oil. "The bottom line is frankincense is a very powerful natural medicine and it's strongly associated with spiritual purity and spiritual cleanliness."
