Used for its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, particularly in joints and other chronic conditions.
This one being very rich in active ingredients notably boswellic acid (AKBA: 3-O-acetyl-11-keto boswellic acid) highly sought after for its powerful anti-inflammatory and potentially anti-cancer effects.
These triterpenic acids inhibit inflammation receptors (5-lox)
THE MOST KNOWN INDICATIONS OF BOSWELLIA:
-joint inflammations of rheumatic origin
-osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligamentitis, pain due to trauma (sprain, etc.)
Possible synergies: Boswellia + curcumin + PEA (neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, sciatica, etc.)
SECONDARY APPLICATIONS (in progress)
-Colorectal cancer
-Pancreatic cancer
-Lung cancer
Studies on cellular models. Knowing that most triterpene compounds have anti-cancer (preventive) effects.
NEUROPROTECTIVE EFFECTS
Reduces neuroinflammation. Interesting for Alzheimer's
Possible synergy: Boswellia + resveratrol or curcumin + B vitamins (especially B1 for glucose absorption)
SOME INTERESTING PERSPECTIVES FOR RESPIRATORY DISEASES:
-Asthma
-Allergy
-BCPO
Possible synergy: Boswellia (which will target certain metabolic pathways with boswellic acid) + Curcumin (which will target other metabolic pathways with its polyphenols) + Nigella or Indian Costus + vitamin D + Zinc + Magnesium and vitamin C. Also try Plantain, Propolis and MSM. The Cordyceps mushroom is also very interesting in supporting the pulmonary pathways.
