Boswellia

Boswellia, also known as frankincense, is a resin derived from the Boswellia tree, which primarily grows in dry, mountainous regions of India, Africa, and the Arabian Peninsula. The resin is harvested by making incisions in the tree's bark, allowing the resin to ooze out and be collected. Traditionally, Boswellia is used in Ayurvedic medicine for various purposes, including promoting digestion and supporting the respiratory system.

In animals such as dogs, chickens, and horses, Boswellia is increasingly being used as a natural supplement. It is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can contribute to better joint health and mobility, especially in older or active animals. Additionally, it may help support the immune system and promote healthy skin and coat.

The use of Boswellia in pets and farm animals is a topic of growing interest. However, it is important to combine this supplement with a balanced diet and use it under the guidance of a veterinarian to ensure it is suitable for the specific animal and its needs.
