Frankincense was one of the three gifts given to the Baby Jesus by the Three Magi, recorded as being of equal value with myrrh and gold.

Other Uses:

Pain and Arthritis

Frankincense is beneficial for painful conditions such as arthritis. It may act as an analgesic too. One study found that Frankincense increased pain threshold and pain tolerance in participants. More studies are needed to confirm the efficiency of this as pain treatment, and if it is a potential alternative to NSAIDs.

Frankincense has anti-inflammatory effects that may help reduce joint inflammation caused by arthritis.

Researchers believe that frankincense can prevent the release of leukotrienes, which are compounds that can cause inflammation. 

Terpenes, including boswellic acid, appear to be the strongest anti-inflammatory compounds in frankincense.

Both oral and topical use of boswellic acid help reduce symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

In another study, participants who took 169.33 mg of boswellia extract twice daily for 120 days, indicated a  reduction in  inflammation, joint pain, and stiffness in mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis, without serious side effects.

Another study found that frankincense oil reduced osteoarthritis pain when applied to the skin for 6 weeks

Lumbar Spondylitis with Sciatica:

 Reduces Inflammation:
• Frankincense contains active compounds, such as boswellic acids, which have potent anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds can help reduce inflammation in the spinal joints and tissues, which is a key issue in lumbar spondylitis. Reducing inflammation can also alleviate the pressure on the sciatic nerve, easing sciatica pain.
Alleviates Pain:
• Frankincense may help relieve pain associated with both lumbar spondylitis and sciatica. By reducing inflammation and swelling, it can help minimize the pain caused by nerve compression or joint degeneration in the lumbar spine.
Improves Joint Function:
• Frankincense supports overall joint health by reducing inflammation and promoting better mobility. This can help improve flexibility in the lumbar spine, potentially reducing stiffness and discomfort, especially during movement.
Prevents Cartilage Degradation:
• Boswellic acids in frankincense can inhibit enzymes that break down cartilage. By protecting the cartilage in the spinal joints, frankincense may help slow the progression of joint degeneration caused by lumbar spondylitis.
Supports Nerve Health:
• Sciatica involves the irritation of the sciatic nerve, and frankincense’s anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects may help reduce nerve pain and irritation. This makes it particularly useful for managing the nerve pain that radiates from the lower back to the legs.
• Topical Application:
• Frankincense essential oil can be diluted in a carrier oil (such as coconut or almond oil) and applied topically to the lower back area to help reduce localized inflammation and pain.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS and Gut Problems

Frankincense’s anti-inflammatory properties may also help your gut function properly.

One study found that frankincense, in combination with other herbal medicines, reduced abdominal pain, bloating, and even associated depression and anxiety in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Another study also indicated that boswellia 250 mg tablets taken daily for 6 months improved symptoms in people with IBS.

Asthma Relief  

Traditional medicine has used frankincense to treat bronchitis and asthma for centuries.

Research suggests that its compounds may prevent the production of leukotrienes, which cause the bronchial muscles to constrict in asthma.

Frankincense may also affect Th2 cytokines, which can cause inflammation and mucus overproduction in people with asthma. 

In one small study, people who took a daily supplement of 500 mg boswellia extract in addition to their standard asthma treatment were able to take fewer inhalations of their regular medications during the 4-week study.
