Frankincense has a long history of traditional use in various cultures, particularly in Ayurvedic and Middle Eastern medicine, as a remedy for wounds and injuries. Historically, it has been applied topically or used in poultices to help heal cuts, sores, and other injuries, primarily due to its reputed anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The resin contains bioactive compounds such as boswellic acids, which are thought to contribute to these effects. However, while there is a rich tradition of using frankincense for injuries, scientific studies directly examining its effectiveness for healing wounds or injuries in humans are limited. Some laboratory and animal studies have shown that extracts from frankincense may reduce inflammation and promote tissue regeneration, but robust clinical trials in humans are lacking. Most scientific research has focused on its use for chronic inflammatory conditions like osteoarthritis rather than acute injuries. In summary, the use of frankincense for supporting or treating injuries is primarily supported by traditional practices, with some preliminary scientific rationale but insufficient clinical evidence to strongly validate its effectiveness for this purpose.
