摘要
Two of the world's most important and venerated essential oils are frankincense and myrrh, and these, together with gold, were the three famous gifts from the Magi to the infant Jesus, as written in Matthew 2:11. Frankincense aromatic resin has been used for centuries for ceremonial and religious purposes, in perfumes and incense as well as for medicinal purposes. The source of frankincense and its composition are discussed briefly together with its sociological importance over the centuries. Then the systemic and neurological health benefits attributed to frankincense are discussed in some detail. Finally, the mechanisms of action and the receptors that this essential oil activates to achieve its health benefits are reviewed.
