In Ayurvedic medicine Indian frankincense (Boswellia serrata) has been used for hundreds of years for treating arthritis.
Extracts of Boswellia serrata have been clinically studied for osteoarthritis and joint function, particularly for osteoarthritis of the knee. A Boswellia extract marketed under the name Wokvel has undergone human efficacy, comparative, pharmacokinetic studies.
Anti-cancer activity
Boswellic acid, an extract from Boswellia serrata has been studied also for anti-neoplastic activity, especially in primary and secondary brain tumours. As of today, there are several academic reports of its efficacy in in-vitro studies [7] [8], and limited clinical reports [9]. Boswellic acid is also undergoing a clinical trial of stage 2 at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center.
