HEMoms used frankincense long before modern medicine existed… and now science is starting to understand why. 🌿
Frankincense (from the Boswellia tree) has been used for thousands of years to support healing, immunity, and inflammation. For families trying to live a little more naturally, it’s one of the most fascinating plant compounds being studied today.
✨ Research has found frankincense may:
• Help reduce inflammation by blocking inflammatory pathways linked to chronic disease
• Support a balanced immune system
• Promote healthy skin and tissue repair
• Support brain and nervous system health
And one of the most interesting areas scientists are studying is how compounds in frankincense — called boswellic acids — interact with abnormal cells.
🔬 Studies have shown:
• Research published in BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies found frankincense extract could trigger apoptosis (programmed cell death) in pancreatic cancer cells in laboratory models.
• A study from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center found frankincense oil suppressed growth of bladder cancer cells while sparing normal cells in lab testing.
• Additional studies have shown boswellic acids may slow proliferation of certain breast cancer cells in experimental models.

Sometimes the remedies our ancestors used every day… are the ones modern science is just beginning to rediscover. 🌿
