Why Frankincense today?
Today, we know through Chemistry that Frankincense contains sesquiterpenes. Sesquiterpenes are found naturally in plants and insects. Sesquiterpene molecules deliver oxygen molecules to cells, like hemoglobin does in the blood. They can also erase or deprogram miswritten codes in the DNA. They are thought to be especially effective in fighting cancer because the root problem with a cancer cell is that it contains misinformation, so sesquiterpenes can erase that garbled information. At the same time the oxygen carried by sesquiterpene molecules creates an environment where cancer cells can't reproduce.
Hence, sesquiterpenes deliver cancer cells a double punch that disables their coded misbehavior and a second that stops their growth. They are also known to stimulate the part of the brain that controls emotions. It also helps the hypothalamus, pineal and pituitary glands that produce many of the important hormones in our body. Over all it helps strengthen the immune system by increasing leukocyte activity.
