Many people don’t know much about the effects and functions of frankincense, so when using it, they don’t know how to choose the best medicine. We need to learn about it. The following is a detailed introduction.

The efficacy and function of frankincense:

Analgesic effect: The hot plate method was used on mice to prove that frankincense volatile oil has analgesic effect, and the residue after extracting the volatile oil is ineffective. The analgesic in the volatile oil is mainly n-octyl acetate.

Anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects: Frankincense can promote the increase of multinuclear leukocytes to phagocytize dead blood cells and cells, improve metabolism, and thus have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Traumatic injuries, sores, carbuncles and swellings. Frankincense has a spicy aroma and enters the heart and liver meridians. It tastes bitter and can clear the blood. It can not only disperse blood stasis and relieve pain, but also promote blood circulation, eliminate carbuncle, remove dead tissue and regenerate new tissue. It is an important medicine in traumatology. For the treatment of injuries from falls, it is often used together with myrrh, blood clotting, safflower and other medicines.

Pain caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis. This product is pungent and dispersing, bitter and laxative, and enters both the blood and qi. It can relieve stagnant qi in the blood, resolve blood stasis and relieve pain. It can promote the flow of qi and blood in the viscera internally and penetrate the meridians externally. It can be used for all pain syndromes caused by qi stagnation and blood stasis.

It can be harvested in spring and summer, with spring being the peak production period. When harvesting, the bark of the dry trunk is cut sequentially from bottom to top, and a narrow groove is opened to allow the resin to seep out of the wound and flow into the groove. After a few days, it solidifies into a dry and hard solid and can be harvested. Those that fall to the ground are often contaminated with sand and soil impurities and are of lower quality. This product is sticky in nature and should be kept airtight and dust-proof; it softens and changes color when exposed to heat, so it should be stored in a cool place.

Through the above introduction, we have some understanding of the effects and functions of frankincense. It is also very effective in analgesic treatment. However, it should be noted that such drugs should be used in moderation, otherwise they will cause harm to human health. The placement method of such drugs is also detailed above.
