Frankincense The essential oils of frankincense originated from Africa, India, and the Middle East. For years, the oils have been used in the production of incense and perfumes, but recent studies have demonstrated its health benefits. These are; Anti-tumor activity A study was carried out to evaluate the anti-tumor activity and signaling pathways of frankincense oil in bladder cancer cells. The microarray and bioinformatics analysis was used to identify the temporal regulation of frankincense oil-activated gene expression in bladder cancer cells. The results showed that frankincense oil activates genes that are responsible for cell cycle arrest, cell growth suppression, and apoptosis in J82 cells. Frankincense can be used to distinguish cancerous from normal bladder cells and suppress cancer cell viability. Effective in allergic asthma In a study carried out to investigate the effectiveness of frankincense essential oil (BSEO) on the immune cell change in the lung, using a mouse model of asthma. Asthma induced mice group was exposed to BSEO for 30 minutes per trial, thrice a week, and was continued for 8 weeks using the nebulizer. The mice treated with frankincense showed that the essential was effective in suppressing the hypersensitive reaction of the airway to the broncho-constrictor in allergic asthma. Therefore, BSEO would be effective to treat allergic asthma by immune control suppressing the activity of immune cells in each tissue. Anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative effect on tumors In a study aimed to verify the reported therapeutic properties of frankincense resin and describe its chemical composition based on available scientific studies. The components of frankincense were analyzed which shows that frankincense has an anti-inflammatory effect, the antiproliferative and anti-tumor effect on tumors. Analgesic effect A study was carried out to evaluate the analgesic effect of frankincense essential oil by using validated human pain models which have shown its analgesic activity in both in-vitro and preclinical studies. Twenty healthy subjects were randomly shared into two groups and were treated accordingly. After test drug administration, the Pain Threshold force and time and Pain Tolerance force and time were evaluated at baseline and 1 hr., 2 hrs. and 3 hrs. The study showed that frankincense essential oil significantly increased the Pain Threshold and Pain Tolerance force and time compared to placebo. Headache treatment In a study aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy of frankincense essential oil on headaches and disturbed sleep in patients with chronic cluster headache (CCH). The study included four (4) patients in an open-label treated with frankincense essential oil. The results showed that frankincense essential oil was effective in reducing the intensity and frequency of headaches in patients with CCH. References Al-Yasiry, Ali & Kiczorowska, Bożena. (2016).
