Why Frankincense Is Better for Joint Pain Relief for horses

The action of chemicals in frankincense that stop the action of complement relieve pain and swelling in arthritic joints about as effectively as aspirin, prednisone and ibuprofen. Most people who take Boswellia preparations for joint pain continue to take other pain relievers. They just don’t take as much. The big advantage of boswellin (the primary pain relief chemical in frankincense) over the standard pain relievers is that the other pain relievers destroy joint tissue at the same time they relieve pain.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) interfere with a joint’s ability to make glycosaminoglycans. These are the protein fibers the joints make from chondroitin and glucosamine. If you take a large amount of aspirin, ibuprofen, and similar pain relievers such as  administering phenylbutazone (Bute), routinely.You will get pain relief as long as you are taking the drug, but your underlying joint problem will just get worse and worse . Pain killers , Analgesic drugs act in various ways on the peripheral  and central  nervous systems.which temporarily affect, and in some instances completely eliminate, sensation and offer short term relief. Injecting Corticosteroids, since they suppress the immune system, can lead to an increase in the rate of infections .

The long term use of corticosteroids may cause Equine Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a progressive, chronic disease that causes the degeneration of joints, resulting in pain, stiffness and lameness in performance and pleasure horses of any age. … Essentially, osteoarthritis is a breakdown in the cartilage of a synovial joint (i.e. a freely-moving joint). It also suppresses  the tendons to heal naturally.

Shrinking (atrophy) of the adrenal glands can be caused by the long term use of corticosteroids resulting in the body’s inability to produce cortisol, the body’s natural corticosteroid, when the systemic corticosteroids are discontinued.

I recommend you speak with one of the team at Cullulla Rd we believe into fixing the underlying issue holistically .

Boswellia won’t break down joint tissue. It won’t cause stomach upset. In fact, it may heal stomach upset caused by prolonged use of other pain relievers. Combined with turmeric  and/or ashwagandha, boswellia usually offers far better relief than standard pain relievers taken alone. You will also experience less pain and more flexibility if you take the herbal preparation by itself, without any other pain relief products.
