Boswellia serrata (Indian Frankincense)

Sperb's Herbs Podcast

This episode will be looking at another traditional herb of the world: Boswellia serrata or Indian frankincense, an important Ayurvedic herb for treating inflammation and other conditions. As always, we will do our deep dive into this herb and look at its traditional uses, does it have any Chinese medical functions, and its preparation, interactions, and cautions. And, as usual, we will be adding something a little different…well actually maybe a lot different…as herbalists (and practitioners in general), we run businesses and writing a business plan is the most important thing to do to ensure or continue success...So we are going to look at business planning excuses.

Each episode of the podcast will go into great depth about a single herb or formula. Besides covering the basics of herbology including category, and functions, we will explore the history, quality, science, pharmacology, evidence, and any potential interactions of each herb or formula. Please join us as we look at Boswellia serrata or Indian Frankincense. It is going to be another interesting sojourn into the depths of herbdom…please keep listening!
