What is Boswellia / Frankincense?
Boswellia, also known as Frankincense or Olibanum, is a type of tree that belongs to the Burseraceae family. It is native to arid regions in Africa, the Middle East, and India. These trees produce a fragrant resin, which is primarily used in traditional medicine.
In Ayurvedic and traditional medicine, Boswellia resin is used to treat various conditions, including digestive problems, inflammation, and respiratory problems.
What are boswellic acids?
Boswellic acids are pentacyclic triterpenes that have strong anti-inflammatory properties. They are the most important component of Boswellia serrata resin or resin extract.
What are the benefits of Boswellia extracts?
Boswellia extract has various health benefits due to its active compounds, such as boswellic acids. These compounds possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which can:
- Reduce inflammation: Boswellic acids have anti-inflammatory properties that can help decrease inflammation and alleviate symptoms associated with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
- Relieve pain: Boswellia extract, with its analgesic effects, can help alleviate pain, particularly pain caused by inflammation.
- Support respiratory health: Boswellia extract may be beneficial in relieving symptoms of bronchial asthma by reducing inflammation and relaxing the airways.
- Improve digestive health: Boswellia extract may enhance digestion. Boswellic acids in Boswellia extract can help reduce intestinal inflammation and alleviate symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Boswellia (Frankincense) can be combined with other supplements or natural remedies to enhance its beneficial effects on health. Some examples of such combinations include:
- Lecithin 1200mg: This combination is used to increase the absorption of Boswellia, allowing for better utilization of its beneficial properties.
- Curcumin (Turmeric): Curcumin is an active compound found in turmeric, known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Combining Boswellia with curcumin can enhance the anti-inflammatory effects and may be beneficial in treating joint pain and other inflammatory conditions.
- Glucosamine: Glucosamine is commonly used for joint health as it helps maintain healthy cartilage and connective tissue. Combining Boswellia with glucosamine can provide additional support for pain relief and improved joint mobility.
- Fish oil (Omega-3): Both fish oil, which contains omega-3 fatty acids, and Boswellia have anti-inflammatory properties. Combining the two can enhance their anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce inflammation in the body, particularly in chronic conditions like arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease. This combination can help relieve joint pain, improve mobility, and reduce cholesterol levels.
