Description
Indian incense (Bosvellia Serrata)
The resin of the Boswellia Serrata incense tree has been sacred incense for thousands of years. It is a liquid bark, with which the tree seals and heals injuries to the trunk and branches. Along with myrrh and gold, incense is one of the gifts of the three kings and was sacrificed to the ancient oriental gods in pre-Christian times 7000 years ago. In Egypt, incense was used not only for religious rites, but also for embalming the mummies of well-to-do deceased due to its cleansing and disinfecting properties.
Less well known is the millennial use of Indian incense (Bosvellia Serrata, Sanskrit: Shallaki or Salai Guggal) in traditional Ayurveda. Incense is used as an ointment, e.g. for arthritis, broken bones, swollen glands and ulcers, as well as internally for all kinds of ailments and inflammations.
Until 1875. incense was also part of classical European naturopathy, mainly for the alleviation of rheumatic diseases, and can be found in pharmacological manuals. Temporarily forgotten, incense is now enjoying increasing popularity again.
Rich in precious boswellic acids
In addition to a number of essential oils (8-12%) and polysaccharides (20-45%), incense also contains special resin acids, namely 5 – 8% of boswellic acids, including the main active ingredient acetyl-11-keto-b-boswellic acid, or AKBA for short. All the active ingredients of the incense plant, and especially the essential oils and acid resins, form a synergistic complex. Boswellic acids have an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the enzymes 5-lipoxygenase and COX (cytochrome c oxidase), which are responsible for the production of inflammatory leukotrienes and prostaglandins, and contribute to joint health from a dose of 300-450 mg, according to the European body EFSA.
