Boswellin—Anti-Inflammatory Adaptogen from Naturewas written by senior scientists of Sami-Sabinsa Group and edited by Dr. Majeed and Dr. N. Kalyanam, according to a press release. The book gives an overview of the “quintessential” science on Boswellic acids, and dives into the polysaccharide component of Boswellia gum.
TheBoswellia serrata tree grows in India. The gum resin exudate of the tree has been used in Ayurvedic medicine to manage rheumatism, respiratory diseases, and liver disorders, the press release says. The primary use in contemporary medicine is as an anti-arthritic and anti-inflammatory agent.
“With many botanicals, there is so much more to study than the primarily-known active constituents,” said Dr. Majeed. “In studying Boswellia, we’ve made some intriguing discoveries about the immunomodulatory polysaccharides of Boswellia gum, and are eager to share those more widely.”
