The Indian Ayruvedic system of herbal medicine has long used the large Boswellia tree for the treatment of inflammatory joint problems, diarrhoea and dysentery. The tree trunk is tapped to collect the resin that is used in modern herbal products. Plant resins are sticky, wax like substances often secreted by plants in response to damage. The resin then hardens to offer the damage a protective coating. Resins soften upon heating to yield essential oils, gums or both. Resin acids, such as the Boswellic acids found in Boswellia, are part of the chemical make up of these oils and gums.The Benefits of BoswelliaBoswellia’s main application is the pain management of virtually any inflammatory condition.
