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

Frankincense and myrrh, two esteemed gifts sourced from the gum resins of trees - the Boswellia and the Commiphora, respectively – make amazing partners in healing! Both have been incorporated throughout history in perfume, incense, aromatherapy, and medicine, especially Chinese medicine. Their anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, antioxidant, and more properties address issues with a variety of health conditions, many that Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. sees in our Auburn chiropractic patients who may want to know more!

THE COMBINATION: Frankincense and Myrrh

Chinese medicine admires frankincense and myrrh for their extensively beneficial health effects. Used together, their anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects and significantly 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 affecting the blood vessels that feed tumors in HCC. Tumor volume was reduced, and pathological structure was reduced with frankincense and myrrh treatment. (2) Low dose frankincense/myrrh modulated urotheilial wound healing to help symptoms of acute interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome.  (3) The frankincense/myrrh combo proves itself to be a winning/healing one!

NEUROPATHIC PAIN

Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. welcomes combinations of treatments to help our Auburn chiropractic patients looking for healing. Chinese medicine treats diabetic neuropathy, a critical complication of diabetes and cause of kidney disease, by controlling 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 being able to stimulate blood and dissipate blood stasis. The frankincense-myrrh treatment was tested and found to ease neuropathic pain likely related to neuro-inflammatory agents TLR4 and MyD88 and to averting TRPV1 and inflammatory factor expression.
