Has anyone tried this in conjucting with their therapy? It's suppose to be a natural anti inflammatory, maybe a substitute for Prednisone? Thoughts....or am I just dreaming?

I've heard of it, but I've never tried it. I read that Buchu was good too. Don't boil the leaves. I would need to read more about it before I took it tho.

I have not tried it myself,but I have got a bottle,ready to try I've just been to bad to add anything else to the mixture ifyou know what I mean! I have heard alot of people use this for arthritis pain relief I also read that you should take 350mg twice a day for UC,and that alot of people found it significantly improved there symptoms it was not clear how long you had to take it before you could in expect improvement,basically its aherbal anti- infamatory
otherwise known as frankenense I think.Please post to tell how it goes.Anna

I tried it a couple of years ago. Unfortunately it didn't work for me.

Sloan-Kettering has a good summary on Boswellia. There's a version for those who speak medicalese and one for most of us:
