It's that time of the year again. Christmas is soon upon us and many of us have heard the story of the virgin birth of Jesus Christ in a manger.

Christmas is the largest holiday that is mainly built around a somewhat fictitious religious story and propped up by a huge marketing money maker.

I'm a Christian and I am not saying the birth of Jesus was fake. However, religion has changed a lot of truth for its own personal and political gain.

It is no secret that Jesus wasn't born on December 25th. Most likely sometime in the middle to end of September, based on biblical facts.

However, my focus of this post is to give you a niche idea based on the truth that many people, including many Christians, have not figured out yet.

GOLD, FRANKINCENSE AND MYRRH

The story goes that the three Wise Men, also known as The Magi, followed a bright star in the sky that lead them to a manger where Jesus was born.

They came to worship and honor the King and Savior. They presented Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.

Look at that picture above. Does anything look out of place? You have Gold Alloy and two different Spices. Metal and two spices? That's weird!

I realize people would think, as did I for most of my life, that Gold Alloy was given to baby Jesus because he was the coming prophesied King.

Every King in those days and even today, has a vast amount of Gold. However, why pair that with two spices used by royalty for medicinal purposes?

MANY THEOLOGIANS NOW BELIEVE THE GOLD WAS TURMERIC

There is growing evidence by Christian theologians and Middle East historians, that the Gold in the trio of gifts to baby Jesus was actually Turmeric.

This makes a lot more sense when you consider these facts. The Magi were travelers who used spices as money for various purposes.

This was a time during the Spice Trade and that area of Israel was at the end of one of the Trade Routes from the Far East places such as India.

Much of the economic prosperity of the time was grown by the exchange of precious and hard to find spices cultivated in the East.

Turmeric was actually called the "Gold" spice. It was worth more than its weight in gold and it was also used as a form of money by royalty.

TURMERIC, FRANKINCENSE & MYRRH HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON

Not only are these three spices considered luxurious among the population in the region at that time, they also had spiritual and medicinal uses.

Did you know that all three of these spices have potent anti-inflammatory, analgesic, skin healing, and immune supporting properties?

This makes these three spices the wisest natural and most expensive healing spices for a woman who has just given birth to Jesus the future King.

You could definitely say that these were the wisest wise men that knew exactly what the mother of the new King of His people needed at that time.

It was close to impossible for anyone who didn't have great amounts of money and connections, to bring those healing spices to Mary.

THIS WOULD MAKE A GREAT NATURAL HEALING NICHE

If you are in or considering an all-natural health & wellness niche, these three popular spices in today's market, have a key significance to the past.

It is a Christmas story of the birth of Jesus that many have heard of, just not in this way. Using them separately or blended together is a Win-Win.

If you should want to promote these three spices, you can focus your niche on any or all of the medicinal properties of these royal spices.

The spice turmeric alone has a growing body of evidence that it even kills cancer cells and the other two also have anti-cancer properties.

What do you think? Does this sound like an interesting niche or maybe a new angle to a niche about any one of these spices? Leave your comments below.
