What are Boswellia benefits?
Also known by the name Olibanum, Boswellia is popularly used in Ayurvedic medicine, common in India. It has anti-inflammatory benefits and combats joint pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis, and accelerates post-workout recovery by its agents against inflammation. Boswellia supplementation brings several benefits, besides strengthening the immune system, it can prevent diseases and fight asthma. So, take our test and find out what is the best way to strengthen your body!

Joint Inflammatory and Stiffness
Joint stiffness and inflammation is the feeling of limited joint movement. This sensation may or may not be caused by weakness and is associated with long periods of immobility. Stiffness is common with arthritis, and inflammation worsens the pain and limits certain movement. The timing and cause of the inflammation and stiffness can only be diagnosed by doctors, but preventive and palliative treatments are options for those who suffer from these complaints.
