Boswellia, a tree gum resin often
used in Ayurvedic medicine, is a
natural and safe herb for optimum joint health. It has traditionally
been used as an incense because of its fragrant properties. One of the
active constituents in Boswellia is Boswellic Acid, which is a pyrazoline
derivative shown to be very effective in supporting healthy joints as
well as exhibiting anti-inflammatory activity in the gum resin. Like
its cousin, Guggul, Boswellia has many cholesterol and triglyceride
lowering properties.
Boswellia has been used extensively
in Ayurveda for joint support and to provide an overall sense of wellbeing.
Also known as "Salai Guggul," it is like its cousin, Guggul, in offering
broad health and immunomodulating benefits. The gum resin is used as
an ointment for sores and has anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic,
and anti-arthritic activities. The nonphenolic fraction of the gum resin
had marked sedative and analgesic action. This gum is a well-known household
fumigant and is used as an anti-inflammatory agent when applied externally.

Internally, besides being anti-arthritic,
it has expectorant effects and can reduce body weight. In clinical trials,
promising results were observed for patients suffering with rheumatoid arthritis,
chronic colitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, bronchial asthma, and
peritumoral brains edemas. In lab animals, boswellic acid inhibits
5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme that is important in the process of inflammation,
and it therefore reduces swelling induced by chemicals and from arthritis.
It has also been able to slow the replication of isolated cancer cells in
the laboratory. However, unlike other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and celecoxib (i.e., Celebrexฎ), boswellic acid
does not appear to reduce pain or fevers, nor does it cause stomach ulcers
in lab animals.
