Episode 25: Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh with Ciara Corcoran and Dr. Anthony de Pontes

Episode Description:

In this special Christmas episode, Mary Greensmith is joined by Dr. Anthony de Pontes and Ciara Corcoran. They come together to chat about the historic gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh — and how these ancient treasures still hold meaning today, especially in the world of homeopathy and natural health.

Gold: The Remedy for the Heart and Soul

Ciara shares how Aurum (homeopathic gold) is one of the remedies she often uses, especially for deep emotional struggles. Gold represents preciousness, strength, and endurance.

• Emotional healing: Aurum is often prescribed for feelings of heaviness, hopelessness, and heartache.
• Physical symptoms: It’s also used for headaches (especially right-sided) and deep bone pain.

Dr. Anthony adds that gold, even in dentistry, is special because it is electrically neutral, avoiding harmful reactions in the body. Spiritually, it symbolizes kingship and value, making it a meaningful Christmas gift long ago.

Frankincense: Nature’s Anti-Inflammatory

Next, they discuss frankincense (Boswellia), better known today for its use as an incense in churches and as an essential oil.

• Healing properties: Frankincense is a strong anti-inflammatory, helpful for arthritis, joint issues, and even asthma.
• Historical use: Ancient civilizations used it for embalming and health rituals.

While it’s not commonly used in homeopathy today, its medicinal value as a herbal remedy remains powerful.

Myrrh: Soothing Emotional and Physical Pain

Finally, they explore myrrh, another ancient treasure.

• Emotional healing: Dr. Anthony explains that myrrh can help those who are perfectionists, peacemakers, or people who suppress their feelings, especially in thyroid-related emotional patterns.
• Physical uses: Myrrh has antifungal, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory benefits, making it a strong cleanser and healer, even helping with wounds and infections.

The Deeper Message

The team reflect on how gold, frankincense, and myrrh aren’t just historical gifts but carry a timeless message of healing, hope, and transformation. They encourage listeners to embrace the continuous journey of learning about homeopathy — and to enjoy discovering new remedies and insights along the way.
