The boswellic acid contained in the precious tree resin has an anti-inflammatory effect, for example in arthritis.
Swollen, painful joints? If we are suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, we can sing a lament about it. In conventional medicine, high doses of cortisone and painkillers are prescribed in this case. But studies show that natural active ingredients can also provide relief, especially for joint pain. The resin of the frankincense tree contains essential oil and bitter substances as well as the anti-inflammatory boswellic acid. It has been proven that this can effectively treat numerous illnesses. In addition to being taken ingested, it can also be used externally: cooling compresses with diluted frankincense oil relieve pain and swelling - this can reduce the use of cortisone and painkillers and their side effects. Whether in the dry regions of East Africa, the Arabian Peninsula or India: frankincense trees always grow on stony, dry soil and in areas that are difficult to access. They cannot be cultivated or planted and are considered a gift from God in many cultures. No wonder that
their locations were often kept secret. Anyone who managed to transport the valuable resin along the arduous route of the incense route, which was built in the 10th century BC, could become very rich. In the temples of almost all ancient cultures, incense resin was a particularly valuable offering and in Rome it was even worth its weight in gold. This is not least due to the harvest, which still requires a lot of patience today: the tree is carefully scratched and then you have to wait for weeks. The high-quality resin only emerges after the third time. In this way, around 3-7 kg per year can be obtained.
