boswellia as a painkiller

Boswellia, also known as Indian frankincense, is made from the Boswellia serrata tree. For centuries, traditional Indian healers have used the anti-inflammatory properties of the tree bark's gummy resin; called salai guggal. Scientific research has identified several active ingredients of Boswellia which are responsible for its anti-inflammatory effects. These active ingredients are often referred to as boswellic acids. In studies the boswellic acids have appeared to reduce inflammation by deterring the inflammation of white cells and improving the blood flow to the joints. In addition, the boswellic acids have been shown to prevent the chemical reactions that can be precursors to inflammation. Boswellia is thought to be effective against both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis. In addition, Boswellia has been shown to decrease severity of back pain .Boswellia can also reduce inflammation associated with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Boswellia appears to offer relief without the negative side effects often seen with traditional pain relievers. Unlike many other common pain relievers, Boswellia has not been shown to cause an upset stomach or other digestive problems.

boswellia serrata

Boswella (Boswellia serrata) is also known as boswellin or "Indian frankincense," comes from the Boswellia serrata tree. Boswellia. serrata is a large branching tree that grows in the hilly regions of India. Research has identified specific active anti-inflammatory ingredients in Boswellia, which are commonly referred to as boswellic acids. In studies, these acids have been shown to significantly decrease inflammation in several ways. Boswella appears to be able to inhibit inflammation by blocking the synthesis of leukotrienes. Leukotrienes cause inflammation by promoting free radical damage, calcium dislocation, autoimmune responses, cell adhesion and the migration of inflammation-producing cells to the inflamed body area. They improve blood flow to the joints. Boswellia can help to: ease osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and decrease back pain. Boswellia's anti-inflammatory properties can help to reduce aching and stiffness, especially when associated with low back pain. Boswellia is one of the components in Joint and Bone Combo. The other ingredients are Glucosamine,Yucca root,Chondoiton Sulfate, Rose hip, Horsetail, and Flaxseed.
