Ancient medicine: Frankincense, Galbanum, Hyssop and Myrrh

Painting: Adoration of the magi, by Abraham Bloemaert, from the central museum of Utrecht I first spoke about frankincense in July last year. There are at least 52 references to this oil in the bible. To a lot of people, frankincense and myrrh are well known from the Old Testament as two of the gifts given to the Christ child. It is now believed that the frankincense and myrrh presented to the baby Jesus were sourced from the southern Arabian peninsula; the area known today as Oman and Yemen. The oils galbanum and hyssop are less known to people but they likewise are also referenced in the Old Testament. So let’s now have a look at the uses for these four oils in our day and age. Frankincense (Boswellia Sacra and Boswellia Carteri).

The Wim Hof Method *Revealed* – How to Consciously Control Your Immune System

He has climbed Everest and Kilimanjaro in only shorts and shoes, stayed comfortably in ice baths for hours, and run a full marathon in the highest desert (50 degrees celsius, 122 Fahrenheit) with no water & food. Wim is able to accomplish these feats with ease through the use of ‘The Wim Hof Method‘ — a breathing technique that allows you to control the autonomous systems of the body. However the most earthshaking effect of the Wim Hof Method is the ability to consciously control the immune system to fight off diseases. Our immune system plays a significant role in almost all devastating diseases plaguing the modern world, and finding a way to improve it can help us discover new avenues for medicine. Wim is currently working with a group of university researchers to prove that anyone can do the extraordinary things he does.
