Baton Rouge Anti-inflammatory, Anti-Tumor (and more) Healing with Frankincense and Myrrh

Frankincense and myrrh, two respected gifts sourced from the gum resins of trees - the Boswellia and the Commiphora, respectively – make wonderful healing partners! Both have been used throughout history in perfume, incense, aromatherapy, and medicine, especially Chinese medicine. Their anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antioxidant, and more assets tackle issues with many different health conditions, many that Spine & Sports Rehab Center knows afflict our Baton Rouge chiropractic patients and/or loved ones who may want to understand better!

THE COMBINATION: Frankincense and Myrrh

Chinese medicine values frankincense and myrrh for their extensively beneficial health effects. Used together, their anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and notably for anti-tumor effects stopped growth of U266 multiple myeloma cells. (1) In Chinese medicine, frankincense-myrrh are components of an anti-tumor drug for a variety of cancers with the latest research presenting its effect on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). How? By controlling pathological processes like cytokine-receptor binding and pathways and targeting the blood vessels that support tumors in HCC. Tumor volume was decreased, and pathological structure was diminished with frankincense and myrrh treatment. (2) Low dose frankincense/myrrh controlled urotheilial wound healing to improve symptoms of acute interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome.  (3) The frankincense/myrrh comination is a winning/healing one!

NEUROPATHIC PAIN

Spine & Sports Rehab Center welcomes combinations of treatments to help our Baton Rouge chiropractic patients seeking healing. Chinese medicine treats diabetic neuropathy, a critical complication of diabetes and cause of kidney disease, by regulating pathways involved in the glucose/lipid metabolism regulation, antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-fibrosis, etc. (4) Chinese medicine treatment of neuropathic pain commonly involves the frankincense-myrrh combination as it is explained as having the ability to stimulate blood and disperse blood stasis. The frankincense-myrrh treatment was tested and found to reduce neuropathic pain likely related to neuro-inflammatory agents TLR4 and MyD88 and to inhibition of TRPV1 and inflammatory factor expression. (5). Spine & Sports Rehab Center knows all this detail may not be your “thing” of wanting to understand as in depth as this, but we want to share the whole story if only to get to the point that frankincense-myrrh eases neuropathic pain, a great effect!
