Rheumatic Disorders :
Boswellia (Boswelya,
Salai Guggul) is an Ayurvedic herb that
contains anti-inflammatory triterpenoids
called boswellic acid. Boswellic acids are
effective in anti-inflammatory and
anti-arthritic agents, for both
osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis,
soft tissue rheumatism, and low back pain.
Boswellia has a beneficial effect by
suppressing the growth of the inflamed
tissue, as well as preventing the breakdown
of the surrounding connective tissue.
Boswellia Serrata's anti-inflammatory
properties can help to reduce aching and
stiffness, especially when associated with
low back pain. Although research indicates
that boswellia is best taken orally for this
purpose, creams appear to be soothing as
well.
Inflammatory bowel
:
Boswellia may
improve symptoms of ulcerative colitis,
including abdominal pains, loose stools, and
mucus and blood in the stools.
Other Uses:
Boswellia may
also be beneficial in asthmatics and may
also reduce fluid retention associated with
brain tumours. This fluid build-up is
associated with the action of certain
inflammatory chemicals (leukotrienes).
Boswellia inhibits the production of these
chemicals. Reduction of fluid retention
around brain tumours has a beneficial effect
on reducing the associated brain damage.
Boswellia gum has been also used for the
treatment of diabetes, skin and blood
diseases, fever, cardiovascular disorders,
neurological disorders, dysentery, diseases
of the testes, and myriad of other
disorders.
