Many stories had been told about the frankincense, or Luban as it is called locally. These stories vary — some backed by historical evidence while others just folk tales passed down from generation to generation.
Even from a long time ago, Egyptians and some Arab countries already called it frankincense and in this part of the world, frankincense and masculinity have a special relationship — one that is about power and dominance.

Benefits of Frankincense:

Researches made in Japan showed that chewing frankincense has beneficial effects in treating rheumatic diseases and joint pains. A most recent study has also shown that pure oil of frankincense stops cancer cells from developing and growing.

Frankincense has also been considered as a tonic and antiseptic for the cells. It is a general disinfectant for the whole body both internally and externally. It has been used for the prevention of buildup of gases in the body and also works as a regulator of gastrointestinal functions.
