Asthma

In  a  double-blind,  placebo-controlled  clinical  study,  80 patients   with   chronic   asthma  were   treated  with   900 mg/day of Boswellia  gum  resin  or  placebo  for  6  weeks. Only   27%   of  patients   in   the   control   group   showed improvement,  whereas  70%   of  patients  taking  Boswellia improved.   After   taking   Boswellia,   improvements   were observed  for  shortness  of breath,  number  of attacks,  and respiratory  capacity  as  well  as  indicators  of  inflammation.

Comparing the Boswellia group to the placebo group,  there was   a   significant   improvement   in   FEV1,   a   measure   of bronchial obstruction  (p=0,0001). PEFR, a measure of lung capacity  was  also  significantly  increased   (p=0.0001).  The number   of  attacks   was   lower   in   the   Boswellia   group (p=0.0001).   
Picture
Additionally,    Boswellia   showed   substantial (p<0.05)  improvements  compared  to  placebo  in  secondary outcome   parameters   such   as   rhonchi,   eosinophil   count, ESR,   and   respiratory   rate.   Two   patients   who   received Boswellia complained of epigastric pain and nausea.

It   should   not   be   assumed   that   the   inhibition   of leukotrienes   is  the   only  mechanism  by  which   Boswellia
provides  beneficial  effects  for  asthma,  especially    when  the anti-allergic activity from experimental models.
