Boswellia?

Post by SherryR »

I have been reading about a herbal product called Boswellia that people are claiming is good for inflammation, even IBDs. Have any of you ever tried this?

Hi Sherry,
I tried it when I first got sick, before Entocort. It didn't help at all. Apparently you have to take massive amounts of it derive any benefit.

Thanks. I am slowly finding out that a lot of natural supplements don't seem to live up to their billing. :) Wish they did!

Sherry,

We have one member who gave Boswellia serata a serious try, about 5 years ago. Here are the threads where we discussed his trial :

Boswellia for UC

Testing Boswellia for MC

Boswellia Trial for MC
