''Boswellia serrata'' is a plant that produces Indian frankincense, Salai, referred to in Sanskrit as ''shallaki'' and in Latin as ''Olibanum Indicum''. the plant is native to much of India and the Punjab region that extends into Pakistan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USDA GRIN Taxonomy )〕 == Medical usage == In Ayurvedic medicine Indian frankincense has been used for hundreds of years for the attempted treatment of arthritis.〔 〕〔https://americanindianimports.com/content/9_shallaki-natural-anti-inflammatory〕 Extracts of ''Boswellia serrata'' have been clinically studied for osteoarthritis and joint function, particularly for osteoarthritis of the knee, with the research showing a slight improvement of both pain and function compared to a placebo. Positive effects of Boswellia in some chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, bronchial asthma, osteoarthritis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease have been reported.〔Ammon HP."Modulation of the immune system by Boswellia serrata extracts and boswellic acids. ()" ''Phytomedicine.'' 17(11):862-7, 2010 Sep.〕 A ''Boswellia'' extract marketed under the name Wokvel has undergone human efficacy, comparative, pharmacokinetic studies.〔Open, randomized, controlled clinical trial of Boswellia serrata extract as compared to valdecoxib in osteoarthritis of knee.
