Frankincense Gum – Natural Aid for Coughs, Respiratory Infections, and Stomach Issues Frankincense gum is a powerful natural product that helps with coughing, opening the airways, and relieving chronic sore throats. It also has medicinal properties for treating stomach ulcers and gastritis, and acts as a wound and inflammation healer. How to Use Frankincense Gum for Cough? Add 2 teaspoons of frankincense gum to a pan you no longer use. Place the pan on low heat and let the smoke escape, stirring occasionally. Once the smoke begins to appear, place a cotton cushion (preferably filled with wool) on the pan. If you don't have a cushion, you can use a piece of cotton to catch the smoke.
