Emotional Challenges in Breast Cancer Patients
For many women, breast cancer diagnosis affects not only physical but also the emotions, the mental, which then can affect the relationship with other people. Relationship with her friend, her husband, her son, her family, all can be affected.

“I think cancer has a more severe impact on emotions and emotional relationships than people with other serious diseases,” says Katherine Puckett, LCSW, national director of Mind-Body Medicine, Cancer Treatment Center in Chicago, USA.

Next Puckett added that the uncertainty of the disease itself exacerbate these impacts. “Ignorance about breast cancer will further improve patient emotionality related to its relationship with other people. It increases the anxiety and change everything in his life, “said Puckett.

But the change itself does not need negative. For some women, breast cancer can be a trigger that changes the relationship of friends who used to be the closer ties and deeper, making the couple closer, making the family member so close to each other with a stronger bond.

For other women’s impact could be negative. Make him feel lonely and isolated, feeling that the people nearby where he leaned increasingly felt distant. Things that play a role in how breast cancer affects the emotions is the willingness to share feelings with others, something which is not always easy for women with breast cancer.

Women have a role as a caregiver and nurse others. It is therefore very hard to let go of these instincts and then turn into people who have served or addressed. For many women, transform themselves into people who need to be treated and cared for others, it is very hard because he really did not want to be weak and unable to take care of themselves.

Breast cancer patients need to be made aware that the willingness to share feelings and ask for help is actually a force that can strengthen its relationship with other people. So says Mauricio Murillo, MD, a psychiatrist and director of Supportive Oncology Service at the University of New York.

1. Expand Consumption Seaweed.
Japan has one of the low growth rate of breast cancer. Experts suspect, it concerns their diet are accustomed to eating seaweed. Seaweed has proven health benefits. Research Harvard School of Public Health, for example, found that rats fed kelp (a type of seaweed) have the possibility of breast cancer is lower when compared to mice that did not eat kelp. Therefore, try to eat grass like a kel-seaweed, nori or green algae such as spirulina and chlorella, at least 3 grams a day
2. Reduce fatty foods.
According to experts, a diet rich in fat can aimlessly chemicals in the gut that when dealing with the bacteria will turn it into estrogen. Estrogen is then stored in fat tissue cells in the breast that makes this area more likely to grow into cancer. By limiting the daily consumption of fat, up to approximately 20% of the total calorie intake, you mean that has reduced the chances of breast cancer growth
3. Expand Fiber Consumption.
Fiber in fruits and vegetables can affect the metabolism of estrogen in the body and reduce estrogen in the blood
4. Expand Fish Consumption.
By eating at least 3 servings of fish each week such as: tuna, salmon, mackerel and sardines can help prevent breast cancer. Omega 3 in fish, can help strengthen the immune system and inhibit tumor effect that causes cancer.
5. Expand Consumption of Soy Products.
Soybeans and other soy products contain genistein, a type of natural estrogen which mitigates the growth of cancer. Food soy products may protect the body from hormones cause tumors.
That the results of research that focuses on nutrition by molecular biologist Susan J. Zunino, from the Agricultural Research Service Western Human Nutrition Research Center, Davis, California, United States. Research is expected to reveal how the chemical substances in plants that can fight the disease known as acute leukemia limfoblastik.
Zunino research findings at the beginning of 2006 about the ability carnosol from rosemary, curcumin from turmeric, resveratrol from grapes, and ellagic acid, kaempferol and quercetin from strawberries to kill leukemia cells. In research in the laboratory, he uses human blood cell cultures from healthy and cancer as a model.
This discovery not only of interest to cancer researchers, but also the nutrition expert who explores the health benefits of natural compounds in fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. The researchers do not yet know in detail how plant chemicals or phytochemicals support healthy cells and fight cell damage, including well-known phytochemicals such as resveratrol in grapes, blueberries, and a number of other fruit.
The investigation does provide some new clues about how phytochemicals attack cancer cells. For example, Zunino discovered that the phytochemicals interfere with the operation of mitochondria, the miniature power plants that generate energy in cells. Without energy, cells would die.
Mitochondria exposed to resveratrol and other phytochemicals can not function properly. However, Zunino admit, it takes more in-depth research to ascertain and understand how phytochemicals can affect the mitochondria. Zunino and colleagues want to know more about the ability of other phytochemicals that can lead to cell death.
Through recent research proved, that the fruit bearing strawberries are very good therapeutic effect on the prevention of leukemia, aplastic anemia (aplastic anemia), and blood diseases, because basically lies in two kinds of substances contained therein that is? Strawberry amine? and? acid Tannates?, has the effect of growth and curb the occurrence of malignant tumors.
Strawberries are rich in nutrients, contains many amino acids, monosaccharides, citric acid, pectine, vitamins and calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, minerals and so forth. The elements of this nutrient has a very good effect in promoting growth, therefore, strawberry is very beneficial for health.
In addition, strawberries also have high medical value, has the effect of wetting the lung and produce body fluid, strengthen the spleen and stomach, paved the urine and swelling wilted, relieve fever and eliminate the sweltering heat of summer, perfect for stimulating the appetite, relieve cough and forth. Besides, strawberries are also rich in carotene and vitamin C content, etc., vitamins and carotene has antioxidant effects in the body, eliminating free radicals, and thus has a certain protective effect against normal cells, to prevent being oxidized and become cancer cells. Pectine, etc. Tannates acid contained therein can absorb and prevent absorption of chemicals that cause cancer in the body, and thus can function to prevent cancer.
Although strawberries contains many nutrients, however, not every person can consume, there are for eating strawberries can cause stomach and intestine function disorder, in addition to the kidneys function less well and suffered from stones in the urinary tract should not over-consume, because the strawberries more many contain oxalic acid, if the excess can exacerbate the disease state patients.
How to eat a lot of strawberries, which are often found directly on food, but after a washed out first, or which have been cleaned strawberries mixed with sugar or milk mix, special aroma, fresh and delicious. Strawberries that have been cleaned and then mixed with sugar and cream milk, stirring until a puree strowberi (crushed), is a heat-relief food delicious, fragrant and sweet cold after dibekukkan. Strawberries can also be processed into juice, jams and so forth.
Here are tips on healthy foods to prevent and limit the growth of cancer:
1. Avoid fatty foods. Fat is a fertile ground for cancer growth and is a substance that stores a variety of diseases. Fat also can weaken the immune system so that viruses, bacterial diseases can fit easily into the body. Eating habits with high fat foods should be immediately abandoned. It is also appropriate to the word of God communicated to His people, where if His people to sacrifice if it was sheep, cows, goats then they must first burn the fat. God commanded is not without reason. Based on current research experts, weak is the largest donor sources of diseases including cancer.
2. Do not Eat Blood. All living creatures diseases stored in the blood. The human habit of this era have been imitating the habit of the kings of old. Mixing blood with food to taste better has been a killer for humans who eat them. This firm has spoken with God to man for you should never eat blood because the life of living creatures exist in the blood. But what was spoken of the Lord is always violated by humans, so consequently all kinds of diseases appear surface of the earth. At the time of the beginning when God created man, then God only allows people to eat fruits and grains. But after the flood that destroyed the earth, all living things die perish unless some living creatures that Noah entered the ark. At that time the Lord allowed man to eat meat from a kosher animal as emergency food while waiting for flood waters recede and the plants grow. However, humans have forgotten that eating meat is controlled by an advanced practice because it tastes. Eating fruits and vegetables have been tersampingkan and replaced with food-fast food gijinya value of no more than a useless body waste.
3. Do not Eat Meat. The structure of the human, that human intestinal tissue length and suitable food to eat plants (herbivores), but the man has turned into everything eaters (omnivores). What happens to go round various diseases arise and old people become short. Human attitude also became violent, and morally degenerate ahlak even worse than beasts. If the animal did not want to kill other species, humans have been killing each other. This is due to changing patterns of human life that few large highly influenced by food. In a study of people who eat with a vegetarian is much more intelligent and healthy and aged longer than people who eat meat. If so why do not we go back kezaman beginning when God created man in tmana Eden?. We have determined that I want to live healthy and long life by returning to the atmosphere of the Garden of Eden.
4. Fish is not entirely healthy. In earlier times the fish may still healthy to eat because of the river, the sea is not polluted. But now because of human greed, waste disposed of the sea, rivers, and seas and rivers become polluted by chemical substances such as mercury, B3, etc.. Fish – sea fish come close to the beach and then ate a hazardous waste is and then they went to sea in, but not least it is in catching fish near the coast. All these toxins are stored in the body of the fish. The fish in the catch of course is never cut and discarded his blood, but it dieskan fish for days and even months so that the blood of fish to be integrated in the body of the fish. Humans eat the fish that have been for days even more than the human body. Whenever we see a human corpse buried more than one week we might have felt disgust and smell but eat fish that have been dead a month more, we feel pleasure memakanya. This has been spoken of the Lord to man for man not to eat the corpse, but if you must eat fish, eat fish that were found still alive and cut and cleaned all the blood. Not a few of the fishermen use formalin to preserve fish for durability, formalin is basically used to preserve the corpse so as not to smell and last longer. Formalin was added into the human body, so that the cells possessed the body of foreign substances, resulting in a growing body of abnormal cells. There emerged a variety of diseases such as lumps, hardening of the liver (liver cancer), breast cancer, and various types of diseases, especially cancer. Why do not we mengobah lifestyle?. God wants us to change into holiness, we want to live healthy, our body is a temple of the living God, let us guard it with the best.
5. Pure Egg And Milk Not Healthy. Eggs age is not healthy food. Eggs produced by laying hens that had entered the hormone is very dangerous. Many business considerations have been damaging to human health. Laying hens forced to lay eggs within 45 days, by providing food additive hormone. How many cancers are born from hormonal changes?. Almost all cancer diseases due to hormonal changes, such as the lymph nodes, thyroid, breast cancer, etc.. Similarly, milk is not healthful foods again. Various cases of emerging entrepreneurs how to produce milk that has been laced with melamine to be visible only to bergiji but Giji is just fraud. business has been at the expense of health. Man getting greedy, at the expense of other people to earn money as much as possible. Let us leave this unhealthy food.
6. Leave a food with preservatives and dyes. Many foods with preservatives circulating in the community, although the government says that these foods can still be tolerated. But no matter how small preservative into the body if the food we eat will often lead to disease. Usually these substances damage the body’s hormone system, and forming the abnormal cells. Almost certain that cancer is caused by the entry of chemicals into the body so that excess hormones alter the function of both become abnormal.
7. Expand eat fibrous foods. If we want healthy perbanyaklah fiber foods. People who eat plenty of vegetables and fruits would be little likelihood of colon cancer because the colon will be cleaned. Habits do not like to eat vegetables is a bad habit and increase the risk of cancer.

PREGNANCY come when conditions are not possible, abortion is one of the solutions offered although sounding extreme. Unfortunately, an issue still lively discussion that abortion causes breast cancer.

“This issue is still very controversial. The theory is that during pregnancy, your hormones, including estrogen, stimulating the body’s cells in the breast area to prepare the process of lactation (breastfeeding). And when the abortion is done, your hormones decrease rapidly, the process was interrupted. This is what causes some antiabortion scholars who claim that the abortion can cause breast cancer risk, “said David A Grimes MD, clinical professor of obstetrics field of the womb and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“But most researchers, including researchers from the National Cancer Institute and American Cancer Society says that hormone disruption is not dangerous. They also assert that the relationship between abortion with breast cancer did not exist, “added Dr. David, as quoted by Cosmopolitan, on Thursday (17/02/2011).

Dr David stressed, studies that collect documentation every act of abortion in Scandinavia failed to find a link between abortion with breast cancer.

Some women believe breast continually prop could avoid breast down. But the habit could actually trigger an increase in body temperature around a long time that breast cancer risk.
Two scientists Sydney Singer and Soma Grismaijer his wife in 1991 to do research on how long an ideal time to wear a bra or topless women?
The answer turned out to less than 12 hours. Women who want to avoid breast cancer should wear a bra in the shortest time possible, and preferably less than 12 hours per day.
Singer and learn the habit of wearing a bra Grismaijer 4500 women in five cities across the United States. The result of his studies have been published in a book Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras.
The study showed women who wore bras 24 hours a day most high-risk breast cancer. While women rarely wear a bra at least risk.
Comparison of results of the study showed:
1. 3 out of 4 women who wore bras 24 hours per day
2. 1 of 7 women who wore bras more than 12 hours per day, but do not use while sleeping
3. 1 of 152 women who wear bras less than 12 hours per day
4. 1 of 168 women who rarely or never wearing a bra at all
So the risk of women who wear a bra for 24 hours has 125 times the risk of breast cancer than those who rarely wear a bra.
The best time to rest his breast without a bra is during sleep. “Do not sleep with a bra,” said Sydney Singer, as quoted by chetday, Friday (04/23/2010).
Massaging the breasts with a sigh each time removing her bra to smooth the flow of lymph and prevents the development of breast cancer.
The lymphatic system is fully developed only in the breast during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so women who wear bras everyday and postpone having children who do not breastfeed may be exposed to higher risk of breast cancer.
About 75 percent of women affected by breast cancer do not actually have a cancer risk factor. This suggests that the use of an ill-fitting bra or constantly wear a bra is a factor that can explain this.
Bra size that is not appropriate or too tight can assist in the growth of breast cancer. Because the wrong bra can inhibit the neutralization of harmful chemicals in the body that cause cancer. And about 80 percent of women use the wrong bra.
The main reason why a tight bra can be dangerous to health is because it can restrict the flow of lymph in the breast. Normally, lymph fluid wash waste material and other toxins, and also remove him from the breast.
Using the bra is too long also increase the temperature of breast tissue, and women who wear bras had higher levels of the hormone prolactin (hormone that functions to stimulate the milk glands) is higher. Both of these can affect the formation of breast cancer.

Patients with colon cancer can be cured if the malignancy was detected early. Conventional examinations, such as blood tests and digital rectal cryptic, but it can detect cancer at an advanced stage. Now the technique introduced examinations that can detect this cancer early.
Colon cancer (colorectal carcinoma) is a malignancy that occurs in the colon to the rectum. Time is slowly growing cancer, 15-20 years old.
“When detected early, patients recover very big possibility,” said the expert oncology hematology Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (Faculty of medicine), Aru W Sudoyo, the gathering of colon cancer patients in Jakarta, Saturday (14 / 5).
According to him, as much as 95 percent of colon cancer cases can be treated if found early through testing and detailed inspection. Unfortunately, this has not happened in Indonesia. The majority of patients diagnosed with colon cancer came for a treatment when it was advanced stage. More than 50 percent of cancer patients are unconscious and too late to know the disease.
According to Ibrahim Basir, abdominal surgeon from the Faculty of medicine, there are early symptoms that can be used to detect early colon cancer, among other weight loss accompanied by a change in bowel habits or bowel movements and bleeding.
Other symptoms of diarrhea or constipation without obvious cause for more than six weeks, feel pain in the back of the abdomen, feeling of bloating, or stomach still felt full even have a bowel movement.
“Most people who experience symptoms that are reluctant to see her doctor. They also do not want digital rectal examination is considered shameful, “he said.
In fact, the simplest way to diagnose colon cancer.
Early detection
Digital rectal examination conducted to determine the presence of polyps in the hole at the same time expenditure to determine abnormalities in the prostate. Blood tests conducted in laboratory vague on stool samples of patients to detect blood from polyps.
Two ways it can help give an idea of ​​better treatment and more effective. In addition to non-invasive way-before observation intestine (colonoscopy) performed two-introduced in other ways, namely biomolecular detection and examination with barium radioisotopes.
Barium enema examination, namely inserting liquid barium into the colon through the rectum and then identified by x-rays. This examination can detect cancer and polyps of the magnitude exceeding 1 cm.
Recently introduced biomolecular examination for colon cancer in stool samples of patients, the test of tumor M2-PK (M2 pyruvates kinase), which is a marker (biomarker) metabolic tumors.
This marker gene was found E Eigenbrodt of Germany in 1992, then developed Schebo Biotech. On examination measured the metabolic activity of colon tumors at an early stage.
“This method can detect polyps or adenoma that was not bleeding,” said Adityawati Ganggaiswari, biomedical experts from Indonesia Cancer Foundation.
DNA testing clinics will be open YKI in Lebak Bulus, Jakarta. Fare is Rp 200,000. Examination of M2-PK in stool samples of patients will be conducted in a laboratory owned by Kalbe Farma, said Adityawati.
YKI addition, there are two hospitals in Jakarta that provides the service.
In the world, colon cancer resulted in the deaths of around 608,000 people. This amount is more than 8 percent of all cancer deaths and ranked fourth type of cancer that causes death. Nearly 60 percent of cases are found in developing countries, including Indonesia.
Related diets
In Indonesia, said Handoko Santoso, Director of Medical and Regulatory Sanofi-Aventis Group of Indonesia, even among young people at high risk for colon cancer. In fact, it was found in children 13 years old.
“This is closely related to changes in diet and lifestyle westernized, especially in urban areas,” said Aru.
How wrong diet and unhealthy, that too many foods high in fat and low in fiber, are often exposed to food preservatives and dyes that are not for food. In addition, lifestyle is at risk of colon cancer is smoking, less exercise, and lots of sitting / lack of movement.
To suppress colon cancer cases in developed countries, including the United States, issued under the condition that those aged above 50 years undergoing endoscopy-based detection, such as colonoscopy. With this method, without any symptoms of colon cancer can be found.

NOT many women who know that obesity can increase the risk of exposure to various cancers. At least that’s the conclusion a study published in a journal of obstetrics and gynecology, recently.
“Many women are less aware of information about overweight and the risk. Related cancer, a worrisome thing is the content of malignancy and cancer of the endometrium (lining of the womb),” said one study’s research team, Dr Pamela T Soliman, from the Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. “We need to educate patients better,” he said.
Soliman and her team concluded that women who are overweight (overweight), potentially four times more likely to have cancer in the cervix, while obese women at risk six-fold. They are also at increased risk of breast cancer and colon cancer.
Apparently overweight can also increase the risk of death in patients with cancer, particularly endometrial cancer. Women with cancer patients who were overweight had a risk 6.25 times more likely to die from the disease.
In the study, Soliman and her team involving as many as 1545 female participants. A total of 28 percent of participants had an ideal body weight, 24 percent are overweight (overweight), and 45 percent obese. The majority of participants (91 percent) is also a participant in health insurance. After the study, only 42 percent of participants who know that obesity increases the risk of endometrial cancer, and 53 percent who know that colon cancer can be related to obesity. While participants were aware that excess weight can increase the risk of breast cancer is only about 54 percent.
The women involved in the study were drawn from the educated college graduates, even the specialist program, they also take insurance. “In fact, patients who routinely control to the doctor was also not aware that obesity can increase their risk of having a variety of cancers,” he said with concern.

So far, the cause of colon cancer or disease is not known with certainty. However, there are some things that allegedly has the potential to bring Bowel Disease can be fierce as this, namely: how the wrong diet, obesity, colon cancer ever, come from families who have a history of colon cancer or disease, have had polyps in the colon , rarely do physical activity, are often exposed to food preservatives and dyes that are not for food, and smoking.
Recent research shows that long-term smokers (30-40 years) have a risk ranging from 1.5 to 3 times. An estimated one in five cases of colon cancer or disease in the United States can be attributed to smokers .. Therefore, to prevent the incidence of colon cancer incidence is recommended not to smoke.
Regarding the symptoms of colon cancer or disease, some patients who often complained of, namely:
First, the bleeding of the colon is marked by the discovery of blood in the stool during defecation.
Second, changes in bowel function (diarrhea or constipation) for no apparent reason, more than six weeks.
Third, weight loss for no apparent reason.
Fourth, pain in the abdomen or the back.
Fifth, the stomach still felt full even after defecation. Sixth, feeling tired constantly Seventh, sometimes cancer can be a barrier in the colon that looked at some of the symptoms such as constipation, pain, and feeling of bloating in the stomach.
To deal with cancer or colon disease, surgical therapy is the most effective, especially if done on a disease that is still localized. However, when it occurs metastasis (spread), the handling becomes more difficult. However, with the development of chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the moment, allows people with advanced stages or in case of relapse for adjuvant therapy. Adjuvant therapy is chemotherapy given after surgery in patients with stage III cancer in order to kill remaining cancer cells.
Currently, adjuvant therapy can be done without a needle (IV), but with oral / tablets (Capacitabine). Availability capacitabine tablet allows patients to undergo chemotherapy at home, of course, its effectiveness is better. Capacitabine also an oral chemotherapy that is safe and work up to the cancer cells.
Kick Preventing Colon Cancer
Preventing far better than cure. It also applies to colon cancer. So as not up to this deadly disease touchable
Avoid foods high in fat, protein, calories, and red meat. Do not forget calcium and folic acid consumption. After undergoing adenoma polipektomi recommended calcium supplementation. It is recommended supplementation of vitamin E, and D. Eat fruits and vegetables every day. Maintain a Body Mass Index between 18.5 to 25.0 kg/m2 throughout life. Do physical activity, such as brisk walking at least 30 minutes a day. Then, avoid smoking. Immediately do a colonoscopy and polipektomi in patients found a polyp. Finally, do an early detection blood tests with vague since the age of 40 years.

Akrilamide chemicals commonly found in french fries, potato chips, and even bread and coffee, is the leading cause of cancer in causing cancer in humans.

This substance is usually used for cosmetics, plastics, and wrapping food. Several years ago, also found that cigarette.

Worse yet, in 2002, some experts find this substance is also contained in some foods, particularly fried and baked.

“This component is found since humans began cooking with fire,” said Roger Clemens, DrPH, a professor and nutrition expert from the University of Southern California.

It is unclear also whether the portion of the diet can also reduce the ill effects akrilamide.

In order to answer this question, researchers from Maastricht University in the Netherlands from a large research on diet and cancer that started in 1986. A total of 121,000 participants aged 55-70 years were included to provide a questionnaire about their habits. The goal is to calculate consumption akrilamide.

After 13 years passed, a total of 339 kidney cancer, bladder cancer 1210, and 2246 with prostate cancer. On average, 22 micrograms akrilamide person consumes each day. Please note that the 1.25 ounces of French fries contains 25 micrograms of the substance.

This risk is higher for those who are smokers. People who consume most of these substances have a risk of kidney cancer 59% higher than those who consume little.

“We hope to find other types of cancers,” said Janneke G Hogervorst, a researcher.

So that they can continue research and find more. But many other experts criticize their research that they say can be confusing the public.

Although the FDA reported that as much as 100% of Americans consume akrilamide although not indicate an increase in consumption. POM U.S. and WHO declared the portion of the diet is not the cause of brain tumors, as happens in animals.

However, it helps you reduce the consumption of french fries and potato chips. Adjust your food intake with a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

There are many assumptions that the pizza is not classified as a healthy food and are classified into groups of Fast Food like hamburgers, fried chicken fast food, and french fries. Did you know that this assumption is wrong, because the pizza is a healthy diet rich in nutrients. Do not believe? Consider the following article to find out the health benefits of pizza.
One of the main ingredients of the pizza is the tomato, which contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant. Lycopene is known to help combat various types of cancer. Research has shown that people who ate pizza at least once a week had a much lower risk for colon cancer, mouth and stomach and lung cancer. Lycopenejuga known to be very helpful in the fight against prostate cancer. Studies have shown that eating pizza can reduce the chance of developing esophageal cancer by 59%.
In a study on food also discovered other facts that processed tomatoes such as those found in spaghetti or pizza sauce contain lycopene, which is higher than fresh tomatoes. This can happen because during the process of cooking and processing tomatoes into sauce, water content contained in tomatoes evaporates so that the concentration of antioxidants in the sauce was higher when compared with fresh tomatoes.
Not only is a very healthy tomato sauce, pizza also has a pizza topping is usually a vegetable or meat can also increase your health.
Rich onion chromium, vitamin C and fiber. These substances help to lower blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure. Olive fruits that are often used as a toping also contain ingredients that help ward off heart disease and lower your cholesterol. Other Toping the large red pepper is also rich in vitaminC, A, and B6. Cheese used in pizza were also contains lots of protein, calcium and other nutrients that are beneficial.
Another health benefit of pizza dough. In fact, pizza dough is a material high in antioxidant content, and through certain baking techniques antioxidants in the dough can actually be improved.
With many health benefits inherent in the notion pizza pizza as junk food will be indisputable. Should not hesitate to eat pizza for moderation. Not just pizza, like any healthy food if consumed in excess will be bad for your health.

Frankincense trees (Styrax benzoin) can grow in harsh environments. Frankincense grows in areas that are very dry and very suitable for high and low lime soil nutrients. Even on the rock even this plant can grow. For example, in Somalia, this plant does not grow on the ground but above the marble stone. Frankincense tree to adapt to harsh environments in a way to abort their leaves.

As known, Frankincense resin utilized. Frankincense sap tapping mode similar to the tapping of rubber tree sap or pine tree sap. Sap produced from cutting the bark. Hardened sap is collected and used as frankincense and myrrh.

The results of this incense leads traded since thousands of years ago, even arkelogis evidence shows the ancient Egyptian tomb of King Tutankhamun, who died in 1323 BC were also found incense. Largest incense trade in the Arab region. At that time, the sale price equal Incense gold. In Indonesia, the largest producer of frankincense trees in North Sumatra.

Incense is used to flavor cigarettes, and aroma therapy. Frankincense is also widely used in religious rituals and treatments.
