First oil of the Bible. Frankincense

So I have been a bit MIA. I am sorry, but I am back. I went away to TX for a weekend, and then been getting back into the groove here at home again. So from last post to now, I have been busy sharing oils and posting MANY different things on my facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ministrymomsmedicinecabinet).

I am back and I decided to start with a great oil of the Bible in which I am pretty sure many if not all have heard of. I love this oil and use it for many things. Here is some info on this oil. I hope you find it interesting and if you want to try it you can always head to my site and pick some up. This oil is also in the Premium starter kit if you are interested in that. youngliving.org/eapeters1

Depression, cancer, allergies, headaches, bronchitis, herpes, tonsillitis, typhoid, warts, immune balancer, respiratory infections, inflammation, immune-stimulating, muscle relaxing, increases spiritual awareness, promotes meditation, improves attitude, and uplifts the spirit.  Frankincense contains sesquiterpenes, which stimulate the limbic system of the brain (the center of memory and emotions) and the hypothalamus, pineal, and pituitary glands.  The hypothalamus is the master gland of the human body, producing many vital hormones including thyroid and growth hormone.   It has been used in European and American hospitals and is the subject of substantial research. Frankincense is also a valuable ingredient in skin care products for aging and dry skin. The ancient Egyptians used it in rejuvenation face masks.

·         From Dr. Suhail, M.D. at the 2010 YL Convention Cancer, arthritis and periodontal disease are also relatively unknown in Oman and Yemen because the population has access to luban (frankincense resin), which is chewed like gum. They also soak 4 or 5 pieces of this resin in water overnight and drink the water. Dr. Suhail, M.D. said that they don’t even have a cancer ward in the hospital that he visits in Oman because so few people over there have cancer. He only knows of 4 cancer cases, all 4 cases being non-local people!

·         Dr. Lin told us of a gentlemen that had cancer and his success story of Adenocarcinoma of the colon. This gentlemen had primary lesion in colon, which had metastasized (antigen was 210 IU mL) (healthy is around 5) antigen went down to 18 with treatment of frankincense in 16 days!!! Metastasis reduced in 21 days, and in another 3-4 weeks it was basically gone.
