4. Cancer
Perhaps unsurprisingly, a lot of detail and attention has been placed upon the impact that Boswellia serrata is able to have upon cancer cells within the body.
Everyone knows someone who has been affected by cancer, with as many as a thirds of the Western population likely to be afflicted with some form of cancer at some point in their lives, and so any new research is always greeted with as much caution as excitement. Developments concerting Boswellia serrata should be given the same cautiously optimistic approach, however, recent research has shown that Boswellia serrata works quite differently on cancer cells than was previously predicted.
Contrastingly to a lot of other cancer-fighting compounds and natural remedies, Boswellia serrata does not bring about automated cell death but stops the spread of cancerous cells instead. The significance of this is that it lowers the risk of tumor formation and makes cancer cell treatment more effective.
