Boswellia Serrata is a plant. The gum resin extract of this plant is considered to have anti-inflammatory properties. It is considered good for inflammation caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis ,Osteoporosis and Ankylosing Spondylitis. In animal studies, these acids have been shown to significantly reduce inflammation in several ways.
Boswellia Serrata is used in India to reduce the inflammation usually found amoung race horses. The qualities of Boswellia Serrata was informed by a Doctor who found significant success treating such horses. The drug was taken as prescribed be the doctor. The Hemogram and ESR were examined before taking Boswellia Serrata.
After a period of 2 months hemogram and ESR were again examined. The ESR had infact gone very high. The symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis too had gone high. The Boswellia Serrata was discontinued. The Boswellic Acid may be helpful in the case of athletes. I do not know whether it would be helpful in case of arthritis. I would never say that you shouldn't try Boswellic Acid but always keep a good check on your hemogram and ESR.
