Essential oils extracted from these resins can be analyzed using gas chromatography, which is precisely what the scientists at LECO did. By extending the analysis to a second dimension using the GCxGC analysis of the Pegasus BT 4D, even more information can be gleaned from the samples extracted from these substances.
GCxGC analysis also inherently produces structured chromatograms where chemically similar analytes tend to elute in ordered bands through the GCxGC separation space.
This provides context for identification and allows for rapid visual characterization of the compound classes. For a more detailed breakdown of the analysis of these oils and how the GCxGC separation provides a huge advantage in the characterization and comparison of these samples, check out our latest application note. Being pushed to do more with less everyday can leave your laboratory stressed, frustrated, and overwhelmed.
Overall, more research is needed, particularly for rheumatoid arthritis 5 , 6 , However, more high-quality studies are needed to confirm these effects. One study found that frankincense, in combination with other herbal medicines, reduced abdominal pain, bloating, and even associated depression and anxiety in people with irritable bowel syndrome IBS Another study also indicated that boswellia mg tablets taken daily for 6 months improved symptoms in people with IBS This resin appears particularly effective at reducing symptoms of ulcerative colitis , one of the main inflammatory gut conditions.
A study found that boswellia extract taken daily for 4 weeks improved symptoms in people with mild ulcerative colitis in remission Boswellia extract also had anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects in rats with colitis However, most studies were small or not done in people. Therefore, more research is needed before strong conclusions can be made.
Frankincense may help reduce symptoms of IBS and and ulcerative colitis by reducing inflammation in your gut. However, more research is needed. Research suggests that its compounds may prevent the production of leukotrienes, which cause the bronchial muscles to constrict in asthma Frankincense may also affect Th2 cytokines, which can cause inflammation and mucus overproduction in people with asthma In one small study, people who took a daily supplement of mg boswellia extract in addition to their standard asthma treatment were able to take fewer inhalations of their regular medications during the 4-week study Additionally, when researchers gave people mg of a supplement made from frankincense and the South Asian fruit bael Aegle marmelos , they found that the supplement was more effective than a placebo at reducing asthma symptoms In another study, asthma symptoms in mice improved with boswellic acid, a component of frankincense resin Frankincense may help relieve asthma symptoms and reduce the amount of asthma medication needed.
Larger studies should be done to confirm these results. The boswellic acids it provides appear to have strong antibacterial properties, which may help prevent and treat oral infections 4.
In one test-tube study, frankincense extract was effective against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans , a bacteria that causes aggressive gum disease In another very small study, participants chewed gum containing frankincense for 5 hours, with saliva samples indicating reduced numbers of microbes each hour Frankincense extract may help fight gum disease and maintain oral health. However, more studies are needed.
Studies show that frankincense may have anticancer effects. Test-tube studies suggest that the boswellic acids it contains might prevent cancer cells from spreading 24 , A research review notes that boswellic acids may also prevent the formation of DNA in cancerous cells, which could help limit cancer growth 1.
So far, test-tube studies suggest that frankincense may fight breast, prostate, pancreatic, skin, and colon cancer cells 25 , 24 , 26 , 27 , 28 , Compounds in frankincense may help kill cancer cells and prevent tumors from spreading. However, more human research needs to be done. Although frankincense is praised for multiple health benefits, not all of them are backed by science.
The 7 following claims have very little evidence behind them. Yet, while very little research exists to support these claims, very little exists to deny them, either. Frankincense is used as an alternative remedy for a wide array of conditions. However, many of its uses are not currently supported by research. And it is overall more fragrant.
