Nearly half of the Australian population will have a degree of osteoarthritis by age 65.
The good news is that you also have many options for relieving the pain. One of the most exciting new treatments may also be one of the oldest – boswellia (Boswellia serrata), a resin derived from frankincense trees which has been used in the traditional Indian medicine system known as Ayurveda for around 4,000 years.
According to a recent study in the journal Arthritis Research & Therapy, osteoarthritis patients taking either 100 mg or 250 mg of an extract of this herb showed significant reductions in symptoms.
What’s more, they reported this improvement in as little as seven days, and there are no adverse side effects with long-term use.
