Boswellic acid may also have a role in asthma treatment. Research findings have shown that boswellic acid suppresses inflammation in the airways and inhibits the secretion of cytokines, which are markers that lead to inflammation. Khan, M. A., et al.

Natural standard herb & supplement guide - e-book:An evidence-based reference. Maryland Heights, MO: Mosby. Photoaging is a type of premature ageing caused by overexposure to UV rays. Topical application of Boswellia has been shown to reduce the appearance of sun damage on the skin. 6 How to use Boswellia

A 2016 review paper reports that boswellic acids might have antitumor properties and be toxic to cancerous cells. The authors conclude that this could make them helpful in future cancer treatments, though clinical trials are necessary to confirm this. The following sections discuss the evidence behind its potential benefits for inflammatory health conditions. Rheumatoid arthritis Roe AL, Wilcox R, Price JM, et al.

The authors of a 2019 study suggested that an active extract of boswellia may help reduce inflammation in people with RA. However, this study used rats, so the results may not apply to humans.

Boswellia and its active ingredients, such as boswellic acid, appear to have a good anti-inflammatory effect on the body, according to a review article. Liu, Z., et al. (2015). Boswellic acid attenuates asthma phenotypes by downregulation of GATA3 via pSTAT6 inhibition in a murine model of asthma. Vishal AA, et al. (2011). A double blind, randomized, placebo controlledclinical study evaluates the early efficacy of Aflapin in subjects withosteoarthritis of knee. DOI: A study in the World Journal of Gastroenterology looked into the action of these compounds. In animal models, boswellic acids improved markers of IBD without causing adverse effects on the surrounding organs. They may, therefore, prove to be a useful supportive treatment for these chronic conditions. In the future, this may make boswellia a helpful complementary treatment for asthma. For now, researchers need to focus on working toward studies in humans. Parkinson’s disease
