It is still be burned in the Roman Catholic Church. Frankincense and myrrh are very sacred.
Frankincense plant is also valued for its medicinal properties. The resin can be eaten and used in traditional Asian medicine to promote healthy skin, digestion and good immunity.[2] Frankincense is also used in Ayurvedic (traditional Indian medicine) for hundreds of years. It is called dhoop. Dhoop is used to treat arthritis, heal wounds, strengthen the female hormonal system, and fight germs and mosquitoes.

Studies have also showed that patients suffering from osteoarthritis experienced significant improvements in their condition after taking frankincense extract. Some universities have noticed that frankincense oil was an ancient remedy for inflammatory arthritis in the Somali community and began to study it in the laboratory.[7]
Inflammatory arthritis is defined by the presence of inflammatory white cells in the joint fluid. Gout, a form of arthritis that causes inflammation, is also known as rheumatoid. Osteoarthritis, a form of arthritis, is non-inflammatory. Both are incurable but can be managed by lifestyle changes and arthritis medications such as Frankincense.[8]
Their research was focused on how frankincense extracts could be used to reduce arthritic inflammation and gout pain. They were able to show that Boswellia serrata inhibited the production key inflammatory molecules. This helped to prevent the painful cartilage breakdown that is common with arthritis and gouty.[9]

Es war für mich sehr neu zu erfahren, dass Boswellia gegen Gicht helfen kann. Vor kurzem wurde bei mir Gicht diagnostiziert und ich wusste nicht einmal, was das ist. Diese Website hat mir sehr geholfen, denn jetzt weiß ich, was Gicht ist und wie man sie behandelt. Ich werde mich auf jeden Fall an die Empfehlungen dieser Seite halten und mich um eine Linderung dieser starken Schmerzen bemühen.
