Anti-inflammatory
Contains boswellic acids that prevent the release of leukotrienes, reducing joint inflammation and cartilage loss. Effective for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Antioxidant Power
Demonstrates dose-dependent antioxidant activity with superior radical scavenging (up to 84.66%). Confirmed by DPPH and superoxide scavenging assays.
Antimicrobial
Effective against Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, Bacillus cereus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Boswellic acids provide strong antibacterial properties.
Skin Health & Anti-aging
Inhibits hyaluronidase, elastase, collagenase, and tyrosinase — directly relevant to anti-aging. Reduces scars, improves elasticity, and enhances radiance.
Mental Wellness
Reduces anxiety and depression. When inhaled, lowers heart rate and blood pressure. Known as the ‘oil of mindfulness’ for meditation and relaxation.
Respiratory Support
Prevents leukotriene production that causes bronchial constriction. Studies show reduced inhaler usage when used alongside standard asthma treatment.
Sleep & Relaxation
Promotes deep relaxation and restful sleep when diffused before bedtime. Cools down the body and relieves tiredness.
