So I was looking up some herbs that may be helpful with colitis, because I used to take some. I ran across Boswellia, and I read some good things about it. Has anyone tried it?

Also, you may want to try dandelion tea. It tastes horrible, just add some cinnamon and a bit of sugar, but I feel like it really helps when I need it. I forgot all about it until a few minutes ago.

I used Boswellia for about 5 months, pretty high doses, I think it helped. I had to cut back on it finally, I think it started to give me some side effects after long term use at very high dosage, I'm talking like double the recommended. I only take about 2 pills a day now.

I would give it a shot for a month or so and see what happens.

Cool, thanks.

What kind of side effects?

I don't care for dandelion tea either. I drink Tension Tamer by Celestial Seasonings. It contains peppermint, cinnamon, ginger, chamomile, lemongrass, licorice, catnip, and tilia flowers--very anti-inflammatory. The tea tastes good, and it helps reduce sugar cravings.

I haven't really given boswellia much of a chance. I tried it once, and it didn't really seem to do much. I've noticed better results with turmeric. If I get another flare, I'll give it another try.

Yeah, although I can appreciate the dandelion tea.

Hmm, I'll look up both.
