Frankincense & Myrrh
A Fragrance of Biblical Proportion!
Throughout the Bible, including
the 37th chapter of Genesis and the 18th chapter of Revelations, those two exotic spices, frankincense and
myrrh are mentioned again and again.
Frankincense
Drawn from the resin of scrubby trees that grow across the Middle East,
frankincense essential oil has had its place throughout history and is mentioned
many times in the Bible. Used in ancient times to enhance meditation, for
embalming, and in perfume, it was also the oil of choice for anointing the
newborn sons of kings and priests.
This may have been why it was
brought as a gift to baby Jesus. When Jesus was born in
Bethlehem, "behold, there came wise
men from the east". It does not say how many but tradition has it
that they were three magi, or perhaps, three kings. "And when they came into the house, where they saw the young child with Mary his
mother, they and fell down and worshipped him: and when they opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh".
Myrrh is an anointing and healing oil
given to Moses.
Today it is utilized to help
maintain normal cellular regeneration, to stimulate the body's immune system,
and as an aid for people suffering from cancer, depression, allergies,
headaches, herpes, bronchitis, and brain damage resulting from head injuries.
It's also deeply camphoraceous, meaning that a whiff or two of its scent will
help soothe a cold or bronchitis. Frankincense Tears. The
frankincense tree sheds its resin in dime-sized drops or "tears," which can be
used as incense, or to make tea. It's also a popular ingredient in soaps
and cosmetics.
