healthy joint and respiratory function*
The Science of
Boswellia
The golden yellow resin from the bark of Boswellia
(Boswellia serrata) has long been used in Ayurvedic practice to
support healthy joints and respiratory function.(Schauss et al.,
1999) Active plant compounds in Boswellia have been identified
as boswellic acids.(Safayhi et al., 1995) Clinical evidence of
this activity is found in placebo-controlled clinical studies.
Boswellia supported joint function, either when taken alone
(Chopra et al., 2000) or combined with other Ayurvedic herbs
(Ashwagandha, Turmeric) and minerals.(Kulkarni et al., 1991),
Boswellia has also been found to support healthy respiratory
function.(Gupta et al., 1998)

Dosha Guide
In Ayurveda there are seven basic body constitutions resulting
from the predominance of one or more energetic influences or
Doshas. The Doshas, Vata, Pitta and Kapha, influence physical,
mental and spiritual health. Everyone is considered to be a
unique combination of these three body influences. Your natural

healthy joints and can also help to balance certain Doshas.

Guide to Being Well - Healthy Joint Function
Regular,
moderate exercise can help to improve joint function. Try
biking, walking, or swimming.
Avoid iron supplements. Excess
iron may contribute to pain and swelling.
Include foods
containing sulfur in your diet such as garlic, onions and eggs,
as sulfur strengthens bones and connective tissues.
Consume
more fresh green vegetables, fruits and fish to increase calcium
and vitamins C & K.
Apply a cold pack to hot and inflamed
joints.
Reduce excess weight, which intensifies joint
problems.
Take hot baths to relieve stress.
Enjoy the
outdoors; sunshine is linked to vitamin D, which is essential
for building bones.
