Frankincense inhibits NF-kB, which accounts for its efficacy against cancer, arthritis, chronic colitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and bronchial asthma
It might be difficult to believe that a single agent could effectively treat a large number of inflammatory conditions, including:
- cancer (prevention actually, not treatment)
- arthritis
- chronic colitis
- ulcerative colitis
- Crohn’s disease
- asthma, and
- many other ailments
But that’s what natural NF-kB inhibitors do. Some do it (much) better than others. But they all do it – because they fight inflammation.
So at first it’s hard to believe, but since NF-kB inhibitors fight inflammation, it makes sense. If inflammation contributes to the cause of many conditions (and it does) then whatever relieves inflammation (actually treating the cause, not just masking the symptoms) should be effective in treating many ailments.
So you might want to consider using natural NF-kB inhibitors.
Except that you’re already using them. Every fresh fruit and vegetable is a natural NF-kB inhibitor.
The problem is – you’re probably not using enough of them. That’s because our modern world is filled with so many things that cause inflammation. It might not be enough to ‘only’ eat the recommended 9 portions of fruits and vegetable each day. And if you have an autoimmune disease – or if conditions related to inflammation run in your family – then you probably have a genetic vulnerability to inflammation. If so, you’ll need even more of these NF-kB inhibitors.
Frankincense is a very effective NF-kB inhibitor. Banjo is a combination of many very effective NF-kB inhibitors. And because Banjo uses a unique “trans-mucosal” delivery system, it’s very fast acting and even more effective.
So take your pick. With additional NF-kB inhibitors from fruits and vegetables (a lot for a long time) or frankincense, or Banjo – you can get better. That’s my theory. And it’s consistent with the results from thousands of studies, a few of which are referenced on this site – one of which is briefly summarized below.

Summary of the absrtract
Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA), a component of an Ayurvedic therapeutic plant Boswellia serrata (frankincense) is active against a large number of inflammatory diseases, including cancer, arthritis, chronic colitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, and bronchial asthma, but the mechanism is poorly understood.
AKBA was found to inhibit NF-kB. AKBA suppressed NF-kB activation in tumor cells. It also countered inflammation and NF-kB activation induced by cigarette smoke.
Overall, results indicated that AKBA enhances apoptosis induced by cytokines and chemotherapeutic agents, inhibits invasion, and suppresses osteoclastogenesis through inhibition of NF-kappaB-regulated gene expression.
