Frankincense and Myrrh as Remedies in Children

Abstract: Two cases of therapy with frankincense and myrrh in children are presented. The long history of this unusual treatment is outlined, demonstrating that for several millenia such agents have been employed in a number of medical contexts, as well as in the perfume and incense industries. Myrrh has found recent pharmacological application in the reduction of cholesterol and triglycerides, as predicted by several traditional therapies.

“…Tato klejopryskyřice, zvaná kadidlo, je zmiňovaná v mnoha starověkých textech kvůli svému využití v medicíně, náboženských rituálech, kosmetice či při balzamování těl ve starověkém Egyptě, a je od pradávna významným obchodním artiklem a kvůli obchodu vznikaly i kadidlové stezky.
