A new study has once again confirmed the benefits of Indian herbs in lessening painful conditions like osteoarthritis.
The University of California, which studied the impact of Indian herbs in 75 patients with osteoarthritis, has found significant improvement in pain scores and physical function scores in these patients.
The herb Boswellia serrata (Indian Frankincense) was used for the study. The patients were administered with Boswellia serrata for 90 days. The pain was evaluated using Lequesne’s Functional Index, visual analog scale and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index. It was seen that patients were relived of the pains and those who were given 250 mg of the herbal preparation showed significant improvement in just seven days.
AKBA (3-O-acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid) has inflammatory properties, they say and adds that Boswellia serrata, which is enriched with 30 percent AKBA, can be effective in treating Osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, affects the joints of the body like knees and hip. Pain, limited movement and stiffness are some of the conditions experienced by people having Osteoarthritis. Though medication can relieve the pains, it may have wide ranging side effects.
Well, the new herbal combination is going to be a better option for people suffering from Osteoarthritis.
