3. Herbal Hero: Boswellia (Shalaki)
Meet your next best friend for joint relief: Boswellia serrata, also known as Shalaki in Ayurveda.
This resin extract has been used for centuries to relieve pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints — and modern research now backs it up. Studies show that Boswellia can be as effective as NSAID painkillers, but without the side effects that come with long-term medication use.
How It Works
Boswellia blocks inflammatory enzymes (5-LOX and COX-2) that contribute to swelling and cartilage damage. It also helps improve blood flow to joints and protects connective tissue from further wear and tear.
How to Take It
Dosage: 2 tablets (or capsules) in the morning and 2 in the evening
Timing: Best taken on an empty stomach for maximum absorption
Duration: Continue for several weeks or until symptoms improve
For best results, combine Boswellia with your daily herbal drink and an anti-inflammatory diet. The trio works synergistically to ease pain naturally.
