To alleviate arthritis pain naturally, consider trying Boswellia serrata, an ancient Indian resin derived from frankincense 
tress. A recent study from the journal “Arthritis Research and Therapy” found that taking 100 milligrams or 250 milligrams of boswellia extract daily markedly reduced pain and enhanced physical functioning in people with osteoarthritis, possibly by slowing down or reducing cartillage breakdown. What’s interesting is that the 25 members in the research study on the 250-mg. dosage showed significant improvement in a mere seven days.
The traditional Indian medicine system known as Ayurveda typically uses boswellia, otherwise known as frankincense, to treat degenerative disorders, says San Francisco-based Ayurvedic clinician Reenita Malhotra. Boswellia is considered safe for long-term use, notes Malhotra, who advises taking 200 milligrams twice daily to relieve osteoarthritis symptoms.
Frankincense is expensive and it comes in the form of incense and essential oil. It has a deep, rich woody scent and it is aromatic, possessing a sense of the regal. It is a n extremely royal herb.
