Turmeric and Boswellia

Turmeric (Curcumin) and Boswellia Acid (comes from the boswellia tree that gives us Frankincense oil) are both independently amazing in terms of their health benefits. But apparently researchers have found that when boswellia serrata is paired with turmeric curcumin, the synergy of the pair seems to be more effective than using the single purified compounds alone. It is the combination of these two ingredients, working together, that raises their individual health benefits exponentially.

I just talked to my doctor about these claims and he agrees.


I just started taking CurcuminMD by 1MD which combines both in one capsule. It’s also great for your skin!!!

Writeups on Boswellia acid are just as eye opening. Studies show that boswellia may reduce inflammation and may be useful in treating the following conditions:

  • osteoarthritis (OA)
  • rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
  • asthma
  • inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)”
