Boswellia extract / Boswellia (extract)

Boswellia is a plant extract that has been used for centuries in various Asian and African traditional medical practices. It has been found to help treat a number of chronic inflammatory diseases and a variety of other health conditions. It is often used for joint and skin problems.

What is boswellia?

Boswellia extract is derived from the resin of the Boswellia serrata tree, native to the Punjab region of present-day India and Pakistan. It contains special chemical compounds with potent anti-inflammatory properties that also show promising potential as an adjuvant in cancer therapy.

The biochemicals in boswellia have the ability to regulate immune system function and specifically inhibit certain pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators that can cause DNA damage, promote tumor growth, and destroy healthy cells. They achieve this effect using several different mechanisms:

They limit the production of a number of inflammatory cytokines – interferon gamma, interleukin 4 and tumor necrosis factor alpha;

Slow down hypersensitivity reactions;

They help regulate the work of lymphocytes and T-cells;

Regulate the production of antibodies called immunoglobulin G, which protect the body from viral and bacterial infections;

They regulate the production of immunoglobulin M antibodies in the blood and lymph.

Boswellia resin contains about 10 percent pure essential oils, which include numerous beneficial compounds: monoterpenes, diterpenes, triterpenes, tetracyclic triterpenic acids, four major pentacyclic and boswellic triterpenic acids, including acetyl-11-seto-beta-boswellic, considered the most potent inhibitor of the inflammatory enzyme 5-lipoxygenase.

What are the health effects of boswellia extract?

→ Relieves symptoms of joint inflammation – The triptenes and boswellic acids in boswellia extract suppress the production of leukotrienes, making this natural remedy as effective in reducing joint inflammation as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, but without their side effects. A clinical trial showed that taking boswellia extract significantly reduced pain and swelling compared to patients in the placebo group. Improvements in joint mobility and walking ability were also reported.

→ Supports skin health – Boswellia extract is a powerful natural astringent. This means that it can naturally slow down the aging process of the skin by tightening and toning it, limiting the formation of wrinkles. In addition, boswellia helps protect and regenerate skin cells, which helps to even out the complexion, fade stretch marks and repair damaged areas. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, the extract also contributes to relieving the symptoms of acne and other skin problems.

→ Helps treat respiratory conditions – The active ingredients in boswellia have been used for centuries to treat various respiratory problems, with its action being particularly effective in bronchial asthma. Leukotrienes play a key role in the bronchospasms associated with asthma attacks. Boswellia’s ability to block the production of leukotrienes can significantly aid in the treatment of asthma.

→ Boswellia extract also improves immune function, helping the body cope with various disease-causing pathogens and speeding up recovery from infections, reducing the risk of developing various autoimmune conditions, and aiding in the treatment of various types of cancer.
