Indian Frankincense
Boswellia serrata
Boswellia serrata is a traditional medicinal plant commonly found in India and other parts of Asia. Traditionally, it has not been extensively used for specific ailments or conditions; however, its use spans various Ayurvedic practices. Scientific evidence suggests that Boswellia serrata may have potential therapeutic benefits, such as reducing chemokine expression in canine keratinocytes and accelerating gastric ulcer healing in rats. While the crystal structure of 3-acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid from Boswellia serrata shows a rigid penta-cyclic framework with extensive van der Waals interactions, there is limited evidence on its health effects in humans. Recent studies indicate that advanced drug delivery systems can improve oral bioavailability and therapeutic efficacy of boswellic acids, though clinical evaluation remains limited. No major safety issues or recorded drug interactions have been noted for Boswellia serrata to date.
