The gummy resin of the boswellia tree has been used as a treatment for arthritis, bursitis, diarrhea, and respiratory disease. The herb Boswellia is now being used to fight both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis because of its natural anti-inflammatory properties. The therapeutic benefits of herbal Boswellia has been demonstrated by tests designed to collect information on anti-arthritic compounds. Boswellia has been shown effective and in many cases better than drugs like Phenylbutazone and other anti-inflammatory drugs. Also Boswellia proved to have NO ulcer causing side effects which can occur with anti-inflammatory drugs like: aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil, Nuprin), and others.

Boswellia's two main phyto-chemicals are boswellin and boswellic acid that both have anti-arthritic, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic properties.

People with "very weakened" immune systems may not be able to use boswellia.
