Frankincense & Myrrh: An Ancient Remedy for the Modern World
Frankincense, myrrh and gold were the gifts brought to Christ at his birth by the three wise kings; though gold remains a top traded commodity, the biblical reference is all most people know about frankincense and myrrh. According to Ancient Essence, an online retailer of frankincense and myrrh essential oils, if people knew the true value of these resins, no one would want to be without them. A recent testimonial from an Ancient Essence customer states one of the company's products heals pre-cancerous skin lesions that the customer finds on his body. A middle-aged customer phoned Ancient Essence after using the company's frankincense and myrrh mix. Last year, he discovered Ancient Essences' frankincense and myrrh oil, and has since found that the product brings relief when applied to pre-cancerous lesions.
"As soon as I get one of those little nasty lesions I put on the frankincense and myrrh oil, and within a few days, they dissolve away," he says. "This product, in my opinion, works like an acid wash on the skin; it removes pre-cancerous cells, plus other benefits."
The medicinal effects of frankincense and myrrh -- resins derived from trees and bushes, respectively -- are nothing new. Research shows the products were top commodities of ancient peoples, worth their weight in gold. Both resins are used for skin treatments for acne, wrinkles and bug bites. Frankincense, with no known side effects, was used to treat allergies, asthma, depression and anxiety, to name a few. Myrrh is used for ailments pertaining to the mouth and mucous membranes, and is also a natural pest deterrent. In fact, in Somalia, where both resins grow naturally, myrrh is still used to keep ticks off herds of sheep. Many others around the globe continue to apply frankincense and myrrh to a variety of uses.
Another great feature of frankincense and myrrh is their wonderful aromas. They have been worn as an alluring scent by King Solomon and Cleopatra, and remain the preferred fixatives in most perfumes on the market.
"Let's face it: there were no drugstores on every corner with different products for all of mankind's woes years ago. Our Creator provided us with the tools we needed, and it grows on trees," says Michele Hammerton, founder of Ancient Essence.
