My references were all over the place....Thanks Tom!<br />My references were all over the place... several books and internet sites. I had my original notes somewhere, but I think I ended up recycling them, D'oh!<br />For certain I could say Bensky's MM, the 2 vol Holmes, Hoffman, and the DK books by Chevalier and by Bown...I also used a couple of little herb/spice reference guides from the 70's that I found in a used bookstore. Most of the other information (esp the brain research) was found online. I'll look for the old book titles for you... they're likely o.o.p.Herbalislhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310642467819954787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155821042531904908.post-53214296966726913742011-03-23T01:12:54.973-04:002011-03-23T01:12:54.973-04:00Nice post!

This and myrrh were some of the first "herbs" to come from the "West" to China and be incorporated into Chinese medicine, this this is of particular interest to me for my research.<br />Thanks for any sources you may be able to provide.

I was particularly interested in the ability of frankincense to promote apoptosis. Looks like there is a bit of research time ahead for me.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing,<br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155821042531904908.post-47688222507821188782009-11-02T09:53:14.196-05:002009-11-02T09:53:14.196-05:00wow, lisl i am in awe of everything you have poste...wow, lisl i am in awe of everything you have posted about frankincense! i am especially interested in the reference you made to brain tumors and edema. i have a friend who has a benign tumor of the cerebullum, and she gets just horrible headaches that she only gets relief from when the docs drain the fluid. she isn't too bed as long as she can get weekly drainings, but she can only afford it once a month, so suffers greatly! i guess i will have to much research and see how frankincense is used for this application. i feel so very sorry for her and only felt comfortable offering her a lavender face mask as she is being given strong pain killers by her doc. so sad:( thank you so much for sharing and givng me an idea at least on a direction i might be able to head her, with the help of a trained herbalist, if i can find any closer than three hours away, which so far, i haven't been able to find!Comfrey Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135637912946395843noreply@blogger.com
