Evaluation of the anti-inflammatory properties of Boswellia serrata (Boswegex®) on carrageenan-induced paw edema in albino Wister rats: an in vivo study

Inflammation is a primary physiological defense mechanism that helps the body protect itself from infection, toxic chemicals, or other noxious stimuli. Anti-inflammatory medicines have stronger therapeutic values and minimal toxicity. It is a defense mechanism of the body to get rid of harmful stimuli and start the tissue's healing process.
B. serrata, commonly known as frankincense, has been widely consumed since time immemorial. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether the anti-inflammatory properties of an aqueous ethanolic extract of B. serrata (Boswegex®) against carrageenan-induced paw edema at doses of 22 and 44 mg/kg.bw were significant. After 4 hours, both Boswegex® and the Standard Indomethacin (10mg/kg.bw) each produced excellent outcomes of 41.66% and 50.88%, respectively. Boswegex®has shown powerful anti-inflammatory properties and established its ability to manage several inflammatory disorders, according to the findings of the current experiment.
