What is Boswellia?
These small shrubs and trees, from the family Burseraceae, are related to the trees that produce Myrrh. The fragrant resins are known as frankincense or oleo-gum and have been used for many centuries as incense, as well as embalming liquids. Boswellia serrata resin is closely related to the biblical frankincense (Boswellia Carterii), although the following studies are regarding B. serrata, not B.carterii. The many species of Boswellia are native to the dry tropics of north-east Africa and Asia. Boswellia serrata has a long history of therapeutic use, especially in Ayurvedic medicine. In Ayurveda, Boswellia has mainly been used as an astringent and anti-inflammatory agent when applied externally, but used as a stimulant and expectorant if taken orally. It is also used for: chronic pulmonary diseases, rheumatic disorders, diarrhea, dysentery, piles, dysmenorrhea, gonorrhea, syphilis, liver disorders, general weakness, and to stimulate appetite. Its success as an anti-inflammatory has no doubt led to an increasing number of clinical studies for an exceptionally large range of inflammatory conditions.

First time trying this in my smoothie but liked the description in Sam's tea's. Know anything from him is quality!
I'm sure it is top quality. Posters said it had no taste WRONG it has a weird taste, I haven't yet figured out how I can mask the taste and still get the benefits from it. Help, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The matcha excellent as always, and I haven't tried the veggie protein yet, not on my list though! Love Sam's service and quality, thanks, Sam

Good quality but a little expensive.
38$ for only 250g.
You need 1 to 2g per day to cure.
I mix this powder with honey in my hot drink.
Before using Boswellia Extract I wasn’t really sure what to expect. However after using it on a regular basis I actually find less problems with my Asthma. I don’t know what it is doing but I have found at this time of year with cold weather my breathing is actually better than it usually is. It is a plus for me for sure. Everyone likes to be able to breathe without problems and this has been a real gift for me.
Thank You again Sam. It seems I’m saying that a lot. It’s great to be able to get products that actually help you. Good products good service good price and treats. Where do you go from here Sam? You have it all and the best.
I take this product daily in my morning smoothies to help with my joints. I think powder is better than capsules and this is a great product!
Great quality, fast shipping, and I really appreciate the free goodies that got
included in my first shipment! Thank you Sam's Teas and Spices!!!
Wonderful daily supplement added to my smoothies...has helped reduce daily labour intensive inflammation drastically! Remarkable anti-cancer benefits for those seeking an alternative. Another great product Sam!
Also known as Indian Frakincense it is arguably the most efficacious anti-inflammatory herb. Sam's is exceptional quality ... My arthritis tells me so! Nearly impossible to find anywhere else in extract powdered form. Also known to shrink tumours! Taste can be masked w a little pure maple syrup.
