Boswellia serrata

Boswellia serrata, commonly known as Indian frankincense, is a tree native to India and parts of Africa. Its resin, or sap, has been used for centuries in traditional medicine to reduce inflammation and support joint health. The active compounds, called boswellic acids, may help decrease swelling and pain, particularly in conditions like arthritis. People often take Boswellia supplements to help manage chronic inflammation and improve mobility. It’s generally considered safe when used appropriately, but consulting a healthcare provider is advised before use, especially for those with medical conditions or taking other medications.
