Shallaki - The key to Healthy Joints !!

 In a world where antibiotics and painkillers are causing more troubles than to lessen it up, medicinal herbs seem to be the new calling. There are numerous herbs in history that have been known for their medicinal value, while other herbs are renowned due to their religious values. Boswellia serrata or commonly known as Shallaki is one of the rare herbs that falls in both of these categories.

Shallaki or Frankincense, is a large shrub that mostly grows in the hot, dry conditions of the Indian subcontinent. Though mostly linked with ancient Persian region (Iran), it is found in many other places of the world. 

The healing touch of Shallaki seems to be no longer a secret, especially in maintaining bone health. It is mostly used for treating Osteoarthritis and muscular pain.  Shallaki has Boswellic acid as one of the chief constituents, which gently cares for joints. Shallaki reduces joint pain and increases mobility.

Shallaki & Joint health

Researchers have found that Boswellia or Shallaki helps in promoting the overall bone health.

1. The active ingredient of Shallaki, the Boswellic acid, decreases the action of another pro-inflammatory enzyme known as Human Leukocyte Elastase (HLE). HLE and leukotriene levels are raised in a lot of inflammatory diseases and allergic reactions. To date, Boswellia or Shallaki is the only substance known to decrease levels of both HLE and leukotrienes.
2. Due to presence of ushan virya or the hot potency in Shallaki or Boswellia, it helps in suppressing vata hence relieving pain and inflammation.
3. Shallaki or Boswellia is recommended in arthritic problems like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, joint and muscle pain.
4. Shallaki is also indicated in lymphadenopathy and lower back pain (LBP)
5. It is very frequently used as a wound healer in any kind of injury.
6. It works via blood to feed the bones and repairing bone tissues.

In the ancient texts, the gummy exudate from Shallaki is grouped with other gum resins and referred to collectively as guggals. Historically, the guggals were recommended by Ayurvedic physicians for a variety of joint conditions. According to a recent research in Indira Gandhi Medical College, India, Shallaki has been proven extremely effective in treating Osteoarthritis, a widespread disease.
