Many people believe the gold wasn’t the gold we refer to in modern terms. It’s believed it was turmeric. It was probably lost in translations of the Bible. It makes sense, turmeric was available during that time. My doctor is from Indian & she said growing up if she had skinned knees her mom put turmeric on a bandaid. I’ve tried it and it works. Can’t go wrong with frankincense. It’s my favorite oil.
