Boswellia serrata is a plant that produces Indian frankincense. It is also known as Indian oli-banum, Salai guggul, and Sallaki in Sanskrit.[1] The plant is native to much of India and the Punjab region that extends into Pakistan.[2]
Sustainability
Boswellia species are currently at risk of being eradicated because of non-sustainable practices (this reference is about B. papyrifera from the Horn of Africa).[3]
Research
Boswellia serrata contains various derivatives of boswellic acid including β-boswellic acid, acetyl-β-boswellic acid, 11-keto-β-boswellic acid and acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid.[4]
Extracts of Boswellia serrata have been clinically studied for osteoarthritis and joint function, with the research showing trends of benefit (slight improvement) in pain and function.[5] It has been used in Indian traditional medicine for diabetes.[6]
