Have you ever heard of Indian frankincense? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boswellia, or Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata), is one of the oldest known medicinal plants. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asthma is the fourth most common disease worldwide<\/strong>, and Croatia falls into countries with a medium-high prevalence of this disease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to learn how Boswellia can ease the symptoms of those suffering from asthma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the difference between Boswellia and frankincense?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When we talk about Boswellia, we actually refer to a complex botanical group with the Latin name Boswellia spp. In the perfume industry, Arabian frankincense is the most valued, while in medicine, Indian frankincense is the most researched<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frankincense refers to the resin obtained by cutting the Boswellia tree, and according to the Bible, it was one of the gifts to the newborn Jesus.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boswellia contains a complex mixture of active substances, with triterpenic acids, derivatives of boswellic acid, being considered responsible for its effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the health benefits of Boswellia or Indian frankincense?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Indian frankincense produces resin that has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for its\u00a0anti-inflammatory properties<\/strong>. Research has shown that extracts from this plant can reduce\u00a0airway inflammation, improve breathing, and decrease the frequency of asthma attacks<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asthma and chronic bronchitis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Boswellia extract prevents molecules responsible for the accumulation of inflammatory cells in tissues<\/strong>. Along with the reduction of these molecules, the influx of inflammatory cells is also reduced, leading to relief of asthma symptoms and other inflammatory diseases.<\/strong> Additionally, it reduces local inflammatory factors known as leukotrienes<\/strong>, which play an important role in the asthma process. It also reduces histamine release, which together leads to bronchial relaxation and easier breathing in asthma and bronchitis<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A study conducted on patients with moderate to severe asthma showed that the use of a phytosomal Boswellia extract led to reduced use of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting \u03b2-agonists (drugs used in asthma treatment) 7.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to explore natural alternatives to relieve asthma symptoms, a dietary supplement with Boswellia is a great choice. If you are already using other medications for asthma or bronchitis, it is advisable to consult with a pharmacist or doctor.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
