UMALAXMI ORGANICS BOSWELLIA CAPSULES Boswellia is an herbal extract made from the bark of the Boswellia tree, it is also known as frankincense. The resin (sticky substance found in trees and plants) is used to make an extract. Boswellia resin is used in Ayurvedic medicine. Boswellia is an effective anti-inflammatory, it can be an effective painkiller and may prevent the loss of cartilage. Boswellia serrata contains chemicals that might decrease swelling and increase the body's immune response. Boswellia is used widely in Ayurveda for treating arthritis, ulcerative colitis, coughs, sores, wound healing and asthma. Four acids in Boswellia resin contibute to the Herb's anti-inflammatory properties. These acids inhibit 5-lipoxygenase, an enzyme that produces leukotriene. Acetyl-11-keto-Boswellic acid (AKBA) is thought to be the most powerful of the four boswellic acid. However research suggests other boswellic acids are responsible for the herb's anti-inflammatory properties.
