Anyone else take Frankincense?

[SativaBreather]

Due to several people close to me having cancer I discovered Frankincense is excellent for treating ovarian cancer and aside from that has a multitude of health benefits such as can be read about here http://www.organicfacts.net/health-...h-benefits-of-frankincense-essential-oil.html

and so now I take 3 drops of pure steam distilled frankincense oil in a glass of water every night and find I sleep really nicely too on it.
It is also apparently good for fertility.

Thought I would make others aware of its use as a medicine as I found it interesting myself.

good info!

 

[jpt again]

Frankincense [oil] separates the ‘brain’ of the cancerous cell – the nucleus – from the ‘body’ – the cytoplasm, and closes down the nucleus to stop it reproducing corrupted DNA codes.”

Very interesting thread...gonna try it for M.S. since my brain feels so detached anyway. jpt

Bought yesterday 400 g of dark Frankincense which has a very lemony smell.Did one clump after the bbq.Looks like the one on the pic.

A much darker Frankincense i have has a more balsamic woody smell.It really depends on the variety, time of harvesting etc.

I have some essential oil that is for medicinal uses. I never bothered to ingest it. You're showing rocks but can the oil work too? I don't see why not

 

[mexcurandero420]

It can work but depends how long it is distilled and the variety of course.

I put 3-5 drops of oil in a glass of water and drink

 

[mexcurandero420]

You can better put a few drops on a teaspoon honey and then in the water.Essential oil doesn't mix very well with water.

There is BTW a wonderfull Frankincense store in London
