We hear Frankincense and Myrrh mentioned a lot at this time of year. Do you know why they were such significant gifts? They were both as valuable as gold at the time of Jesus. Frankincense is said to elevate the mind to the threshold of the spiritual world. It is an antiseptic, purifier and cleanser. It deepens breath. Frankincense was used to prepare bodies for burial at the time of Jesus. Perhaps an indicatior/link of what was to come for Jesus. Myrrh was used for cleansing rituals and fumigation. It is an anaesthetic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic. It is also anti-catarrhal, anti-inflammatory and sedative. It is also a very grounding oil.
