Boswellia serrata, commonly known as Indian frankincense, is derived from the resin of the Boswellia tree, which grows in dry, mountainous regions of India, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Renowned for its powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, and analgesic properties, Boswellia has been used for centuries in traditional medicines. The active ingredients, boswellic acids, have been shown to impede inflammatory pathways in the body, providing relief from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease.
Additionally, Boswellia may support immune function and has even demonstrated potential in studies to reduce certain types of brain tumor growth.
