1. Helps reduce stress and negative emotions: When inhaled, frankincense oil has been shown to reduce heart rate and high blood pressure. It also has the ability to reduce anxiety and depression.

2. Helps boost immune function and prevents disease: Studies show that the benefits of frankincense oil extend to immune-boosting abilities that may help destroy dangerous bacteria, viruses and even cancer. Researchers at Mansoura University in Egypt carried out a laboratory study and found that frankincense oil has a strong immunostimulant effect. It can be used to help prevent germs from forming on the skin, in the mouth or in your home. This is why many people choose to use frankincense oil to naturally relieve oral health problems; the antiseptic qualities of this oil can help prevent gingivitis, bad breath, cavities, toothache, mouth sores and other infections.

3. May help fight cancer or deal with the side effects of chemotherapy: Several research groups have found that frankincense oil has promising anti-inflammatory and anti-tumour effects when tested in laboratory and animal studies. Frankincense oil has been shown to help fight the cells of specific types of cancer. Researchers in China studied the anti-cancer effects of frankincense and myrrh oils on five tumour cell lines in a laboratory study. The results showed that human breast and skin cancer cell lines showed increased sensitivity to the combination of myrrh and frankincense essential oils.

According to test-tube studies, frankincense may help fight and suppress brain tumours, breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and melanoma.

4. Powerful antimicrobial and antiviral properties: Frankincense oil is an antiseptic and disinfectant with antimicrobial effects. It can naturally eliminate cold and flu germs from the home and body and can be used instead of chemical household cleaners. A laboratory study published in Letters in Applied Microbiology found that the combination of frankincense oil and myrrh oil is especially effective when used against pathogens. These two oils, which have been used together since ancient times, have synergistic properties when exposed to microorganisms such as Cryptococcus neoformans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

5. Relieves asthma: Frankincense oil may help improve the symptoms of asthma and bronchitis. In one 6-week study, 70% of participants with bronchial asthma who were given frankincense oil in combination with a placebo had fewer asthma attacks, as well as fewer episodes of wheezing and shortness of breath.

6. Helps balance hormones and improve fertility: The benefits of frankincense oil may include reducing symptoms associated with menstruation and menopause by balancing hormone levels. It is used to relieve pain, cramps, constipation, headaches, anxiety, nausea, fatigue and mood swings. Frankincense oil may also help regulate oestrogen production and may reduce the risk of developing a tumour or cyst in premenopausal women. Animal studies show that frankincense oil can be used as a fertility aid, which may be due to the oil's chemical structure acting similarly to steroids. When frankincense oil was used internally in rats, it increased fertility and the number of implantations and viable foetuses, suggesting that frankincense oil could potentially increase sperm motility and density.

7. Improves gut function: Frankincense oil may help improve gut health and digestion and relieve digestive disorders such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. One study found that frankincense oil was just as effective as mesalazine, a medicine prescribed to treat the symptoms of Crohn's disease. Another study, in which participants with ulcerative colitis received a daily dose of frankincense oil for six weeks, found it to be just as effective as pharmaceutical drugs in managing the condition. Frankincense oil is also effective for chronic diarrhoea. After six weeks of a daily dose of frankincense oil or a placebo, the participants who took frankincense oil had almost cured their diarrhoea.

8. Improves memory: Research shows that frankincense oil can be used to improve memory. Some animal studies found that using frankincense oil during pregnancy may increase the memory of the mother's offspring.

9. Has a calming effect: The uses of frankincense oil include lowering levels of anxiety or chronic stress that can keep you awake at night. It has a calming, grounding aroma that can naturally help you fall asleep. This natural sleep helps open the airways, allows your body to reach the ideal temperature for sleep and can eliminate the pain that keeps you awake.

10. Prevents signs of skin ageing: The benefits of frankincense oil include the ability to strengthen the skin and improve its tone, elasticity, defences against bacteria or blemishes, and appearance with age. It can help tone the skin, reduce the appearance of scars and acne, and heal wounds. It can also be useful for fading stretch marks, surgical scars or pregnancy-related marks and for dry or cracked skin. According to a review published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine, frankincense oil reduces redness and irritation of the skin while producing a more even skin tone. Research shows that the pentacyclic triterpene (steroid-like) structure of frankincense oil contributes to its soothing effect on irritated skin.
