Environmental problems are now to the point that the supply of Frankincense
may cease to exist. Is the Second Coming threatened as a result? And not
withstanding that finding Frakincense will be hard enough, now where the heck
are we going to find THREE wise men?
Frankincense may gain in popularity if certain properties get widely known:
As of May 2008 FASEB Journal announced that Johns Hopkins
University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem
have determined that frankincense smoke is a psychoactive drug
that relieves depression and anxiety in mice.[11]
The researchers found that the chemical compound incensole acetate[12]
is responsible for the effects.[11]
Exactly how does a researcher determine if a mouse is depressed?
Myrrh, on the other hand, is now farmed and is doing alright. It has uses
in modern medicine. perfumes, incense, and religious rituals of all sorts,
including Catholic, Pagan, and Magick ceremonies.
