A prophet's medicine recipe that was 5,000 years ahead of science

The resin of rare trees of the Boswellia genus - frankincense - is an ancient incense symbolizing universal grace.

"The fragrance of the sun" and "sacred tears of the gods" are repeatedly mentioned in the Old and New Testament.

But in the East, frankincense is not only a religious attribute familiar to us, it is valued there for its useful qualities.

American scientists have identified a secret ingredient in incense smoldering - insenol acetate, which gives its smoke antidepressant and antibacterial properties.

Not for nothing did our wise ancestors burn boswellia resin: it actually helps to calm the nerves, clean the air and clothes from bacteria and viruses, and protect the home from uncleanness and negativity.

"The smoke from it is useful in plague epidemics because it fills the air with sweetness and strengthens the body's defenses," the Prophet Muhammad said.

In addition to fumigation, Muslims make essential oils and ointments from frankincense, and drink the beneficial frankincense water.

Modern science became interested in the chemical composition of the "sacred resin" only in the early 20th century.

It is amazing:

- 56% of resins containing boswellic acids.

- 46% gum

- 8% esters, bitters and minerals.

Such components endow frankincense with the properties of a natural antibiotic and analgesic, as well as an antifungal, diuretic, wound-healing and antitumor agent.

In Egypt, frankincense is called the "inflammation fighter" because of its high content of unique boswellic acids, which research has shown to be similar in action to aspirin and diclofenac.

It has been scientifically proven that boswellic acids help block the production of hormone-like substances that cause inflammation, help protect joints from destruction and repair cartilage.

The active ingredients in frankincense help reduce joint pain, stiffness and swelling. Many modern anti-inflammatory drugs contain boswellic acids in their composition.

Tib an-Nabi in the book "Medicine of the Prophet" wrote: "Frankincense water relieves stomach pain, soothes flatulence, dries phlegm (mucus), improves vision and memory.

If you chew resin with thyme - it helps with stuttering.

If you take frankincense with rose syrup, it relieves all kinds of urological infections and nocturnal enuresis."

With its mild diuretic effect, frankincense removes excess fluid.

Many people who drink frankincense water note that their urine becomes as clear as a tear - evidence that the body has been cleaned of harmful toxins.

Wise Eastern doctors call this unique resin "the best pulmonary antiseptic"!

It helps suppress flu viruses, gets rid of any cough, helps with bronchitis, laryngitis, sinusitis, and also helps block cytokines, thus being a natural helper for asthma.

"Frankincense promotes healing of ulcers and bleeding in the intestines if drunk by dissolving it in water." (From the Hadith of the Prophet's medicine).

Therefore, in the East, frankincense water is traditionally used for ulcers, infectious diseases of the teeth, various wounds, inflammation of the gums and even tetanus.

Scientists attribute the fact that the East has the lowest incidence of cancer to the regular consumption of frankincense water.

In 2012, during research at the University of Leicester, a substance called AQUA was discovered in frankincense, which is capable of destroying cancer cells in high concentrations.

It destroys only the tumor without affecting healthy organs and tissues, without causing side effects,

Scientists are carefully studying the new substance and how it can benefit cancer patients.

Soon they will present their new developments.

After all, high-quality, timely help and full recovery after chemotherapy are important for such patients.

"Let your women drink incense during pregnancy, and verily, if the child in their womb is a boy, it will turn into a man with a strong heart, and if it is a girl, it will be beautiful and with wide hips."" (From the Hadith of the Prophet's Medicine)

From ancient times, in the East, the first time a newborn was bathed in incense water.

Then pieces of healing resin were taken out, dried and hung in a canvas bag over the cradle to protect the child from the evil eye.

In the East they say that frankincense water "increases the mind".

From early years it is given to children to make them grow smart and healthy, as well as if they do not start talking for a long time.

Many people wonder why water infused with frankincense is white in color: the reason is that frankincense water contains soluble resins that make it look like milk. The cloudier the solution - the higher the quality of the boswellia resin.

The history of incense use goes back to pre-biblical antiquity, and European scientists finally began to realize that the methods of Traditional Oriental Medicine give amazing results. Only in the XX century in the West began to study what in the East has been known since time immemorial.

With each passing year, scientific research into the healing potential of boswellia resin is only increasing, and many more amazing discoveries await us.

After all, frankincense is a very generous gift of Nature to all mankind for both soul and body.
