What is Boswellia? Most people know Boswellia under its common name - frankincense. This large Mediterranean tree secretes an aromatic resin through its bark. The resin is collected and concentrated to be used as a health supplement. The frankincense tree thrives in areas usually considered inhospitable - with extremely low average rainfall, intense sun exposure, and howling winds. The bark frequently splits under the stress, opening the tree up to infection and death. The resin plays a major role in helping the tree recover and resist infection by providing a host of antibacterial, and antioxidant phytochemicals directly to the site of injury. This protective resin is collected, concentrated, and used as a nutritional supplement around the world for pain and inflammation. How Does Boswellia Work? There are a lot of active compounds in Boswellia resin - but none as highly revered as the boswellic acids. One of these boswellic acids known as Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid (AKBA) has an extensive history of scientific research in the past 10 years - with promising results. AKBA blocks inflammatory messengers including 5-LOX and COX, both of which are primary drivers of inflammation around the body.
