Boswellia

Boswellia is a very powerful anti-inflammatory herb. But, it's anti-inflammatory action is mostly in the intestines. When I started taking it I noticed my belly flattened as the inflammation in my intestines and colon went down. A wonderful side effect of Boswellia is that it's a sedative and one that your body can't seem to adjust to. So it always seems to help me relax and sleep a bit better.

When I started taking Boswellia I noticed that the fungus in my fingernails started to retreat a little. I believe this is because it's reducing inflammation in my liver and kidneys which is allowing detoxification to speed up and depriving the fungus of a food source. I also notice that my fingers are a lot looser and easier to close.

The boswellia that I use is called AOR MAXI BOZ II. I've found that taking up to 1300 mgs (4 capsules) per meal three times a day is totally safe. However, you will probably get very sleepy as the sedative effect will be really strong at this dose. All the literature I've found online about boswellia mentions how there are no known serious side-effects. I haven't experienced any except for the sleepiness. At one pont I was taking 1633 mgs (5 capsules) per meal three times a day, but I couldn't see any increased benefit at this dose.

I've currently reduced my intake to 999 mgs (three capsules) of the AOR brand to three times day. This is very comfortable and is working well for me.

I would recommend people be mindful of hydration when they take anti-inflammatory supplements as they may draw fluid away from the organs.
