The Benefits of Boswellia
Native to India, boswellia is an herb that produces a resin that contains properties that provide a substantial benefit in staving off many of today’s chronic illnesses.
Also called “Indian frankincense,” boswellia has become popular in alternative medicine for its natural ability to relieve inflammation.
Research shows that boswellia’s anti-inflammatory impact helps the body combat many diseases including arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel syndrome.
Unlike other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen, boswellia extract can be used over extended periods of time without causing stomach issues.
Although more research is necessary, some tests have suggested that other health benefits of boswellia can include an anti-tumor effect and could help reduce anxiety and depression.
Other studies show that boswellia may prevent or arrest the growth of prostate cancer.
Although boswellia extract is considered an effective treatment for pain and inflammation, those who take it for arthritis, colitis, or other conditions should continue to consult with a physician.
