Boswellia
An anti-inflammatory herb that can help treat IBD, arthritis, and asthma...
Boswellia is a fragrant resin from the tree Boswellia serrata that is touted for its anti-inflammatory benefits. It is an established and well-known plant in Ayurvedic medicine that is often commonly called "Indian Frankincense." This herb contains boswellic acids, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-cell growth activity.
Traditional Uses
In Ayurvedic medicine, boswellia has been traditionally used for infections such as dysentery, ringworm, boils and respiratory infections. It was used both internally and topically (applied to the skin).
Anti-inflammatory and Alternative to NSAIDs
There are a number of animal studies and some newly started clinical trials that are supporting the use of Boswellia extract in a number of inflammatory conditions such as: inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthritis (OA), and asthma. This supplement is touted as a great alternative to NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as: aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen. It is strongly effective in a number of conditions, while at the same time it does not cause the same gastrointestinal side effects, such as ulceration of the lining of the digestive tract.
Anti-Cell Growth
The extract of Boswellia has been studied for its anti-cell growth activity, in a number of different cell lines. Some examples from the research are: breast, pancreatic, and two types of brain tumour cells. In each case Boswellia has been found to induce apoptosis (programmed "cell suicide") in the targeted cells. Further research is required, but the initial results look promising.
How can I take Boswellia
Most boswellia supplements are made as encapsulated dried gum. Better quality supplements are standardized to the amount of boswellic acids (65% is recommended). This is an assurance that the product contains boswellia and has some active properties. Tinctures of the gum and resin are more difficult to find.
