Frankincense and Myrrh each have ritual and medicinal uses dating back around 5,000 years ago. Their rich history includes practical applications in ancient Egypt, burning for ancient rituals in the temples of Jerusalem, and as a valuable gift from the three wise men to the baby Jesus according to the Bible.
