There are many desert plants that are rich in unique biochemical compounds that can be used for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. For example, the Commiphora Gileadensis, that was mentioned in the Bible, has sap that can be used as an important essence for perfume. We have found specific anti-cancerous effects in the sap as well, for three different types of cancer.
