Frankincense and myrrh have antibiotic and antiseptic properties. I made a salve with coconut oil, beeswax and olive oil and those 2, cinnamon and sandalwood, which also have healing properties. have found it quite effective on healing scrapes and cuts faster. I don't like the menthal in commercial lip balms so we use it for that.

Wonder if the magi knew that and why it was brought to the Christ child. He did become a healer after all. Most assuredly there was some herbalism involved. All great healers use herbs and have for millenniA.
