For Colitis, Boswellia Beats the Drugs
People with ulcerative colitis were given either boswellia resin, boswellia extract or the drug sulfasalazine. The herb worked as well or better than the drug. . . .
Remission rates were 70% in the resin group compared to only 40% in the drug group and 82% in the extract group versus 75% in the drug group.
