Cancer takes more people victim now than it did in the past. In the endeavor to cure cancer, research to find a cure for cancer grows. Although there are many medical courses of action, none of them have a guarantee to cure cancer.
Current research is looking into the possibility of using natural essential oils as an anti-cancer agent. Two of the most popular natural essential oils being researched are frankincense and lemongrass. Natural essential oils are extracted straight from their plant and usually contain the plant’s aroma.
Lemongrass oil comes after distilling Cymbopogon citratus leaves. Lemongrass is abundant, but that does not make it less effective. Lemongrass is so effective against cancer because it causes natural cell death in cancer cells while leaving the healthy cells alone.
Published in the May 2009″Chemico-biological Interactions” journal were the effects of lemongrass essential oil on cancerous cells. The study was conducted on colon cancer, neuroblastoma, breast cancer, and a connective tissue cancer in both in-vitro and in-vivo. In every case and cancer the lemongrass oil was able to induce natural death in the cancer cells while leaving the healthy cells alone.
Frankincense is extracted from the sap or resin of Olibanum trees. These trees are mainly found in Ethiopia, Somalia, and India. Throughout history frankincense has been a valued medical product. Frankincense even goes back to the time when Jesus was born. It is recorded that the wise men came and brought frankincense to Jesus.
Medical aroma therapists say that frankincense is the most effective immune system altering aromatic. Frankincense appears to be so effective with cancer because it can distinguish between cancerous and healthy cells is an organ or tissue. It also helps to cause the death of the cancerous cells while leaving the healthy cells alive. Not even radiation or chemotherapy can distinguish between healthy or cancerous cells.
It is thought that what makes frankincense so wonderful is the Boswellic acid that is unique to frankincense. Boswellic acid is able to repair skin that is damaged from the sun and act as an anti-inflammatory. Frankincense’s ability to kill only cancerous cells comes from this Boswellic acid.
These natural ways of curing cancer are a phenomenon and deserve further research. Because using these essential oils is an alternative therapy, it is not being researched at this time. It will take our government or large grass roots efforts to further the research of using essential oils as a therapy with cancer.
