Frankincense

Frankincense has several potential health benefits, primarily due to its anti-inflamatory, antimicrobial, and calming properties. Bee Well Healing utilizes frankincense in many of its products. We believe in combining the power of nature with effective solutions, infusing garden-fresh herbs into our hand-made products.

Here are some of the key benefits:

1. Anti-Inflammatory Effects

• Contains boswellic acids, which may help reduce inflammation.

• Used in traditional medicine for arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis.

2. Joint & Arthritis Pain Relief

• Studies suggest it may help reduce joint pain and improve mobility in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

3. Supports Respiratory Health

• Can reduce mucus and phlegm buildup.

4. Boosts Immune System

• Some studies suggest it may support immune function by modulating white blood cell activity.

5. May Have Anti-Cancer Properties

Frankincense is a natural resin derived from the Boswellia tree, widely used for its medicinal, spiritual, and aromatic properties. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects, making it beneficial for joint pain, arthritis, and respiratory conditions like asthma. Its antimicrobial and immune-boosting properties support overall health, while its calming aroma helps reduce stress and anxiety. In skincare, frankincense is valued for its ability to improve skin tone, reduce scars, and promote wound healing. It can be used as an essential oil for aromatherapy, applied topically when diluted, or taken as a supplement for therapeutic benefits.
