There are few herbs that have boswellia's mystical reputation.
For centuries, it was considered sacred by many religions... both for its healing properties and traditional importance in many religious rituals.
Also known as frankincense, boswellia produces a sap containing anti-inflammatory and antiseptic compounds.
Taken in pill form, an extract from the plant can significantly reduce pain and improve mood.
Special guest, Dr. Reza Ghorbani, joins Dr. Mike to share the many benefits of boswellia, as well as how you can incorporate it into your health regimen.
