The internal therapeutic virtues of incense
The internal therapeutic virtues of frankincense ( Boswellia Serrata )
Unsuspected virtues for incense
Most of us have used incense to scent the home, change the mood, or perhaps even to aid meditation. However, do you know the internal therapeutic properties of Boswellia Serrata resin? Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine use it in particular for its remarkable anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity for arthritic conditions. This has attracted the attention of many Western companies, including AOR , to offer relief to the growing joint disorders in our population.
Helps relieve pain
Thus, based on its numerous ancestral applications and on convincing scientific studies, the AOR company launched the Maxi-Boz II product. It is an extract standardized to 40% of boswellic acids, the active substances of Boswellia responsible for the anti-inflammatory and analgesic action. A study carried out in 2020 demonstrates that boswellic acids greatly improve painful and stiff conditions, as well as joint function after four weeks with a dose varying between 100 to 250 mg (1). However, AOR's product contains 333mg of Boswellia Serrata . This same study reports the interest of these active substances for many other health conditions.
Immune virtues
Aside from these acids, Boswellia from Maxi Boz II also contains D-glucuronic acid, arabinose and galactose which improve the cellular and humoral immune response (immunomodulatory role) against bacteria and viruses (2) . Other molecules present in its resin would also offer anti-inflammatory properties on the vascular endothelium, antioxidant and anti-thrombotic properties, thus preventing the development of certain cardiovascular diseases.
Finally, another study from 2019 highlights its clinical interest in the face of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration thanks to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neuroprotective role (3).
A great alternative for natural health
The Maxi Boz II product therefore offers you a range of benefits, without any known risk of excess, with the use of a single plant, the standardized Boswellia Serrata . It is a good alternative to curcumin extracts or a great combination to multiply and prolong the anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions!
