2. Decreases Pain

Boswellia produces chemical compounds that control T-lymphocytes. AKBA (3-O-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid) helps control pain responses by limiting an enzyme called 5-lipoxygenase. Though it is widely considered as effective as prescription anti-inflammatories, AKBA targets different inflammatory enzymes, and there are fewer side effects due to the gentler impact on the stomach and the lining of the gut.
