One of the most famous Christmas gifts of all time, frankincense, may be effective for the treatment of late-stage ovarian cancer, according to a new study from UK researchers.
Graham Player Ph.D.'s insight:
Research suggests that frankincense may be useful for the treatment of some cancers, including breast, colon and prostate cancer, due to a compound it contains, called acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA).

Researchers from the University of Leicester have demonstrated the potential of treating ovarian cancer using frankincense. The research funded by the Omani government has successfully shown its potential effectiveness in targeting ovarian cancer.
Previous studies have identified frankincense as a potential treatment for many other cancers, including colon, breast and prostate cancer. However this is the first study to demonstrate its potential in combatting ovarian cancer.
