Frankincense Tree

Recently it has made big news all over the internet that frankincense oil (Boswellia carteri) successfully kills bladder cancer cells without harming surrounding healthy cells. Those of us who are not researchers but healing practitioners are not the least bit surprised at this news. We have seen and heard of many testimonials on how frankincense has countered cancer cells from skin to brain, to internal cancers to breast and now bladder cancers.

What Can We Identify in the Chemistry of Frankincense that Can Account for It’s Cancer Fighting Ability?

Frankincense is high in monoterpenes which can be 64-90%. It also has 5-10% sesquiterpenes, 2-5% alcohols, and about 1% sesquiterpenols. (Remember, even 1% of a compound is considered a large amount and can totally influence the behavior of an oil.) So what does this mean in practical terms? We are going to see actions that are anti-inflammatory, anti-tumoral, immune stimulating, anti-depressing and muscle relaxing. It stimulates the limbic system as well as the pituitary and pineal glands. It is strongly anti-viral, antioxidant, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, antiseptic and expectorant. It’s chemistry proves that it is an all-around healing oil, good for just about everything.

In recent years, there have been many research papers published showing th effacacy of frankincense in treating cervical cancers, breast cancers, and now bladder cancers. These researchers are from reparable universities. In the bladder cancer study, researchers used a therapeutic grade frankincense oil from Young Living Essential oils.
