I have been taking standardized boswellia 300 mg 3X/day in place of celebrex for over a month now, and my upper gi track has not been flaring up like it was on a daily basis.

I have had extreme muscle stiffness and tightness for years. After 3 weeks of use, I could tell a remarkable difference. Highly recommend it.

I took boswellia 1 capsule daily for about 2 months and didn't notice a major difference in my asthma symptoms. Source Naturals Boswellia Extract, Boswellic Acids 243 mg, was the brand and dosage tried.I am trying BCQ next.

Absolutely amazing for pain relief as well as the pain of sciatica from the stenosis of the spinal canal caused by the athritis. Not so efficient for pain with bursitis or rotor cuff tear.

I used the Solaray brand with 65% boswellic acids (300 mg per capsule)for what I describe as an inflamed muscular feeling throughout my body where I could hardly move (possibly fibromyalgia) and within about an hour to an hour and a half I felt 90% better. I was able to move much better. I did not have the inflamed feeling and I felt more relaxed). So far I have only used one capsule but I intend to use as needed. Earlier in the day I had taken an extra strength Tylenol which did not help at all.Read More Read Less

Little or no pain of knees or hands after taking boswellia for 2 or 3 weeks. I have tried going without it, but after 2 weeks my pain would come back.

I found relief from continuous knee pain. If you stop using it it stops working.

I've been taking Boswellia for about 6 months after trying Enbrel with side effects. Boswellia has been effective in reducing pain from RA.

in adjunct with other RA treatments. Much less joint pain using GNC 450 mg serrata extract. Also good for bursitis & other joint issues.

I began using Boswellia (AOR Maxi-Boz, from Canada)about ten years ago for knee pain. I had been prescribed Boswellia before at the Arya Vaidya Shala Research Hospital in Delhi as part of a course of anti-arthritis treatment that worked very well. At the time they impressed on me the importance of using high quality supplements backed by research, which is why I chose AOR. I've been pain free since starting Maxi-Boz and was able to get off the Naproxen I had been using. My joint mobility is also much better and I have much less musculo-skeletal pain in general. I haven't experienced any noticeable side-effects except occasional incense burps when I take it with too little water, and my blood chemistries have been consistently normal.Read More Read Less

Whenever I experience any kind of GI upset like nausea, reflux, diarrhea or gas I swallow a couple of small (1/2 the size of a tic-tac) resin particles and get relief within minutes. I highly recommend it.

We use Boswelia, from which frankincense is made. It stops the stiffness and progression of JRA, in our case, in our 10 year old son. He says: My knee feels 'normal'. That is what a mother wants to hear. He plays basketball and rides his bike. His knee does not 'get stuck' any more.
