Frankincense
(Boswellia Carteri)
Frankincense is considered the holy oil in the Middle East and was
used religiously for thousands of years. It was well known for its
healing powers during the time of Christ. It is now being researched
and used therapeutically in European hospitals. It is anticatarrhal,
prevents scarring, antitumoral, immune-stimulating, and antidepressant.
It is stimulating and elevating to the mind and helps in overcoming
depression.
Item #3548 15 ML
BOTANICAL FAMILY:
Burseraceae (resinous trees and shrubs)
CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS:
Monoterpenes (40%): pinene, limonene;
Sesquiterpenes: gurjunene; Terpenes alcohols.
PROPERTIES:
Anti-catarrhal, anti-depressant, anti-infectious,
antiseptic, anti-tumoral, expectorant, immune-stimulant, and sedative.
FOLKLORE:
One of the gifts given to Christ at birth. There are over 52
references to Frankincense in the Bible (considering
that "incense" is translated from the Hebrew/Greek "frankincense" and is
referring to the same oil).
HISTORICAL USES:
Frankincense is a holy oil in the Middle East.
As an ingredient in the holy incense, it was used anciently during
sacrificial ceremonies to help improve communication with the Creator.
FRENCH MEDICINAL USES:
Asthma, depression, ulcers.
CANCER? - FRANKINCENSE - My oil of choice for ANY kind of CANCER:
Frankincense (Boswellia carteri) may be a good candidate for prevention of cancer and for cancer metastasis.
Study done by Zhao et al. (2003) published in Cancer Detection and Prevention found that a substance called
BC-4, an isomeric compound isolated from Boswellia carteri, may reduce cancerous cell production and metastasis
(spread of cancerous cells from one part of the body to another). *

The aim of the study was to investigate the antitumor and/or preventive effect of BC-4, an isomeric compound isolated from the plant
Boswellia carteri Birdw. containing alpha- and beta-boswellic acid acetate in 1:1, MW 498.3. We used the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)
2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay to study the growth inhibition activity of BC-4. Tumor cells migration within a three-dimensional
collagen matrix was recorded by time-lapse videomicroscopy and computer-assisted cell tracking. Topoisomerase II was isolated
from mouse melanoma B16F10 cells and its activity was determined by its ability to cut plasmid pBR322 DNA.
The secretion and activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) from human fibrosarcoma HT-1080 cells were determined by gelatin
zymography. BC-4 was a cytostatic compound and could induce the differentiation of B16F10 mouse melanoma cells, blocked the
cell population in G1 phase and inhibited topoisomerase II activity. The G1 phase population of B16F10 cells was increased from 57.4 to 87.7
while S phase population was reduced from 33.3 to 5.9after treatment with BC-4 at 25 microM concentration for 48 h. BC-4 also inhibited the
migration activity of B16F10. BC-4 could induce apoptosis of HT-1080 cells, as proved by acridine orange fluorescence staining,
Wright-Giemsa staining, electromicroscopy, DNA fragmentation and flow cytometry. BC-4 inhibited the secretion of MMPs from HT-1080
cells, too. In conclusion, if it turns out that BC-4 is a well tolerated substance, exhibiting no significant toxicity or side effects, being
evaluated currently in China, BC-4 is a good candidate for the prevention of primary tumor, invasion and metastasis.

FRANKINCENSE CONTAINS:
sesquiterpenes, enabling it to go beyond the
blood brain barrier. It may also help oxygenate the pineal and pituitary
glands. It increases the activity of leucocytes in defense of the body
against infection. Frankincense may also help one have a better attitude,
which may help to strengthen the immune system.
APPLICATION: Apply to Vita Flex points and/or directly on area of
concern; diffuse. It is best to use a mixing oil (V-6) when applying
to your skin.
