Frankincense is a resin, commonly used in incense and also in aromatherapy. It now appears that it may be helpful in treating arthritis pain.

BBC NEWS | Health | Frankincense ‘can ease arthritis’ reports:

“In as little as seven days, patients taking the frankincense drug reported improvements in their pain and stiffness levels compared with the placebo group, and these continued until the 90-day mark, when the study ended.”

If you want to try the effects of frankincense yourself, it’s commonly available as an essential oil.

Just mix 2 to 3 drops with a tablespoon of a carrier oil like olive oil, and apply it to painful areas.

As the article states, this is a small trial. However, you can easily test the effects of frankincense yourself.
