Boswell acids are the most important component of the plant due to their strong anti-inflammatory effects, which is why the Indians praise the incense burner as a "fighter of inflammation".

 

Boswell acids, which belong to the group of triterpene acids, are characterized by the ability to block the synthesis of leukotrienes - substances that resemble hormones, but which cause inflammation of the joints and tissues around them. These acids prevent the penetration of leukocytes into cartilage and joint fluid, thereby weakening the inflammatory process.

 

Boswell acids are also valued for their strengthening effects on the structure of cartilage and bone tissue. It inhibits the synthesis of enzymes (cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase) that damage cartilage. They reduce the loss of important structural parts of cartilaginous tissue, such as hydroxyproline, hexosamine and uronic acid, which are excreted from the body through the urine.

 

In this way, boswellic acids prevent cartilage damage, improve blood circulation in the muscles. They improve the supply of nutrients to the damaged area, reduce swelling and pain. Ultimately, they support the healthy condition of joints, cartilage and muscles.
