The key to healthy joints

Shallaki (Boswellia/Indian Frankincense/Boswellia serrata) is mentioned as a pain remedy in ancient Sanskrit texts dating back thousands of years. The herb is recommended in treating rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gout, joint pain, skeletal muscle pain and back pain.

Researchers at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in a 2007 study reported that Shallaki had a ‘robust effect’ on arthritic problems. Scientists at the Center for Biotechnology at Annamalai University, Chennai, India, also gave Shallaki a positive review. The study showed the positive effect of the herb on normal body inflammatory resistance and the healthy support of flexible joints.

In China, Zhejiang University’s Department of Food Science and Nutrition recently published a summary of data from 92 different journals stating natural joint-supportive products (including Shallaki) ‘play a significant role’ in supporting normal joint function.

Shallaki is found in the dry forests of India.
