Today I read an article on news.therawfoodworld.com about a woman who cured her bladder cancer with frankincense essential oil.  The article stated that she took four drops by mouth twice daily and now has no signs of bladder cancer.  She discovered the healing abilities after reading the results of research conducted at the University of Oklahoma that found frankincense oil has properties that kill off cancer cells, especially in conjunction with sandalwood oil.  According to this article frankincense oil has not only helped with bladder cancer, but it has been shown to have anti-cancer properties that help keep other cancers, including melanoma, prostrate, and leukemia, at bay.  It also boosts your mood, heals wounds, remedies bad breath, strengthens hair, eases digestive problems and fights fungus.

So what's in it?  I'm glad you asked.  Apparently it contains monoterpenes, compounds which have the ability to help eradicate cancerous cells at the onset of their development, as well as their progression stages, making it ideal for those who discover their cancer regardless of when it's found.  Monoterpenes stop a cell's replication process, then cell death, and ultimately, tumor regression. Common Uses: The therapeutic properties of Frankincense Essential Oil include use as an antiseptic, astringent, carminative, digestive, diuretic, sedative, tonic and expectorant. Frankincense is said to help rejuvenate the aging skin, and is effective with bacterial and fungal infections. The anti-inflammatory property of this oil is reputed to be an effective treatment for joint pain and arthritis. Frankincense can also be used as an insect repellent.  Frankincense Essential Oil has a rich woody, earthy scent with a deeply mysterious nuance. Avoid use during pregnancy.
