Frankincense, Boswellia Reduce Inflammation

Frankincense is the sap or gummy resin extracted from the  Boswellia  tree that is native to India. It grows in dry, hilly regions of the country and produces a resin that can be extracted and purified for medicinal preparations.

Indian healers have used Boswellia for centuries to treat a range of health issues that stem from inflammation. Modern research has revealed that boswellic acid inhibits the synthesis of inflammatory molecules called leukotrienes.

In one study, Boswellia was given to patients suffering from ulcerative colitis (an inflammatory disease of the large intestine and rectum). More than 80 percent of the Boswellia subjects experienced remission of symptoms in a disease that’s considered incurable.

And in a 1998 study, 70 percent of bronchial asthma patients who took Boswellia showed improvement compared to less than 30 percent of the control group. The researchers concluded that the “data show a definite role of gum resin of Boswellia serrata in the treatment of bronchial asthma.”
