Re: Alternative to Boswelia for Ulcerative colitis

[Guest guest]

I'm having exactly the same problem. Have been trawling the suppliers and having

no luck at present. Apparently milling the Boswellia to make capsules is a real

problem as it is too sticky and mucks up their equipment.

Will be watching for replies with bated breath as I really need this too but for

an arthritis patient.

Hi all,we were talking about treating pruiritis at the skin seminar, and it was suggested to use chickweed juice in a cream/ emulsifying ointment and then add 90% calendula tinc to preserve the juice. In a 60g jar how much calendula tinc do you think I would need to add - the alchohol may be abit irritating to an already inflammed skin, but I want to make sure it doesn't go mouldy.ThanksSally MNIMHDr. Sally Moorcroft

Mediherb have done liquid formulations for some of their tablets - now that the tablets are no longer available here. I've been using their liquid Thyroco medicine. Maybe its worthwhile calling Balance Healthcare to check if they've done the same for their boswellia tablet.

I use Avicenna's tincture of Boswelia. Herbs in a bottle also do it. I find it doesn't marry readily with other herbs in a tincture mix. Too much resin, it precipitates out. I therefore prescribe it on its own. A quick check on the web says Solgar, Veridian and BioCare plus other companies I don't know of are still selling capsules of Boswelia via Amazon.Would that be whilst stocks last? You could always stock up. AnneTo: ukherbal-list Sent: Monday, 14 November 2011, 9:11Subject: Alternative to Boswelia for Ulcerative colitis

I used to use Mediherb's Boswelia complex for various inflammatory conditions including inflammatory bowel disease and found it so effective. Now that we cannot get hold of tablets anymore, any suggestions as to either other forms and suppliers of Boswelia or other herbs to use?

[Guest guest]

Thanks for these replies.

Herbs in a Bottle can make up Boswellia capsules of 65% boswellic acid extract

at a reasonable cost so will probably try them.

The Mediherb standard alternative is aimed more at musculo-skeltal inflammation

but they came back to me from Australia with this useful suggestion for IBD

using their tinctures - though I am not sure that it would work as well without

Boswellia:

Glycyrrhiza 1:1 High Grade

Rehmannia 1:2

Matricaria 1:2 High Grade

Centella 1:1 (this has anti-inflammatory activity and is also very good for

promoting healing)

Uncaria 1:2

Zingiber 1:2

You wouldn't use all of these herbs in a single formula but would choose the

best ones for the patient.

An example formula could be:

Glycyrrhiza 1:1 High Grade 20 mL

Matricaria 1:2 High Grade 30 mL

Centella 1:1 40 mL

Zingiber 1:2 10 mL

Dosage: 7.5 mL twice daily
