Boswellia serrata

Boswellia serrata is a plant that produces Indian frankincense, Salai, referred to in Sanskrit as shallaki and in Latin as Olibanum Indicum.[1] the plant is native to much of India and the Punjab region that extends into Pakistan.[2]

Medical usage

In Ayurvedic medicine Indian frankincense has been used for hundreds of years for the treatment of arthritis.[3][4]

in Kinnerasani Wildlife Sanctuary, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Extracts of Boswellia serrata have been clinically studied for osteoarthritis and joint function, particularly for osteoarthritis of the knee, with the research showing a slight improvement of both pain and function compared to a placebo.[5] Positive effects of Boswellia in some chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, bronchial asthma, osteoarthritis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease have been reported.[6] Some see Boswellia serrata as a promising alternative to NSAIDs, warranting further investigation in pharmacological studies and clinical trials.[7][8]

Topical application

Boswellia serrata has been recently developed for topical use in a patent-pending formula in Sano Relief Gel. Boswellia serrata is used in the manufacture of the anti-wrinkle agent "Boswelox",[9] which has been criticised as being ineffective.[10]

Active constituents

Boswellic acid and other pentacyclic triterpene acids are present. 11-keto-β-boswellic acid and acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acids (AKBA) are the major constituents present in Boswellia serrata.[11]
