Shallaki is one of the ancient and most valued herbs in Ayurveda. âGajabhakshyaâ, a Sanskrit name sometimes used for Boswellia, suggests that elephants enjoy this herb as a part of their diet. Gum-resin extracts of Boswellia serrata have been traditionally used in folk medicine for centuries to treat various chronic inflammatory diseases.
The first two pillars of Ayurveda describe the anti-rheumatic activity of gugguls-the gum-resins of trees. In addition to its beneficial use for arthritis, this gummy resin is also mentioned in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani texts as an effective remedy for diarrhoea, dysentery, ringworm, boils, fevers (antipyretic), skin and blood diseases, cardiovascular diseases, mouth sores, bad throat, bronchitis, asthma, cough, vaginal discharges, hair-loss, jaundice, haemorrhoids, syphilitic diseases, irregular menses, and stimulation of liver. It is also diaphoretic, astringent, diuretic and acts both as internal and external stimulant. Modern medicine and pharmacology strongly point out to its use as an antiarthritic, anti-inflammatory, antihyperlipidemic (controls blood lipids), anti-atherosclerotic (anti-coronary plaque), analgesic (pain-reliever) and hepatoprotective (protects the liver) (1, 2).
