The many therapeutic benefits of Royal Green Hojari Resins

Frankincense water for internal medicinal purposes

In its resin form, frankincense has revealed many medicinal qualities. Boswellia sacra resin has been commonly used for its analgesic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties, which reflect its immunomodulatory activity. Burned as incense, dissolved in water for inhalation or daily consumption, Frankincense showed efficacy with a variety of ailments:

What is Boswellic acid?

Boswellic acids are a series of terpenes (of pentacyclic terpenoid) molecules produced by the trees in the genus Boswellia. Boswellic acids are a major component in the resin exuded by the tree but are not found in the the steam or hydro distilled frankincense essential oil. This is due to the size of these terpenes too large to come over in the steam distillation process (the essential oil is composed mainly of the much lighter monoterpene and sesquiterpene molecules with small amounts of diterpenoid components being the upper limit in terms of molecular weight) and to the non-volatile carachteistic of the boswellic acid as these components are non-volatile. Boswellic acids exhibit potent antiinflammatory properties in vitro and in vivo. Specific to their anticancer properties, boswellic acids induce antiproliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in leukemia cell lines.

Pharmacological Activities of Boswellic Acid

“The pharmacological activities of BA are attributed to its aptness to induce anti-inflammatory, expectorant, antiseptic, anxiolytic, anti-neurotic, analgesic, tranquilizing, and antibacterial effects [33]. It can modulate diverse targets such as enzymes, growth factors, kinases, and transcription factors, as well as receptors, which allow it to stimulate apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, etc. [36]. It can also inhibit different signaling pathways [42] related to cell survival [43], proliferation [44], and metastasis [45].” Research link- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6747466/

“Boswellic acids have been indicated in apoptosis of cancer cells, in particular brain tumors and cells affected by leukemia or colon cancer “(https://academic.oup.com/carcin/article/23/12/2087/2608333).

Acetyl-boswellic acids also exhibit anti-inflammatory behaviour by inhibiting leukotriene synthesis.[6] It inhibits the activity of the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase through a non-redox reaction. Specifically the 3-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid binds as an allosteric partial inhibitor, initiating a shift in regioselectivity of the catalyzed reation.[7] 

Boswellic acids are also thought to decrease the symptoms of asthma; a small 1998 placebo-controlled trial of Boswellia extract for the treatment of asthma showed good results.[12] 

Clinical trials[8][9] have investigated the effectiveness of boswellic acids in treating ulcerative colitis,

• Immunomodulatory activity

• Breast cancer Pancreatic and Bladder Cancer

With breast cancer, there is research showing that Boswellia sacra essential oil can bring about cancer cell death, and can prevent tumour growth in vitro.

Research link - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22171782/

Essential oil prepared by distillation of the gum resin traditionally used for aromatic therapy has also been shown to have tumor cell-specific anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic activities. The objective of this study was to optimize conditions for preparing Boswellea sacra essential oil with the highest biological activity in inducing tumor cell-specific cytotoxicity and suppressing aggressive tumor phenotypes in human breast cancer cells.

​Pancreatic and Bladder Cancer

Other studies show that frankincense may limit cancer spread in the pancreas and bladder:
