DESCRIPTION
Plant Profile
Boswellia serrata is widely known as Indian Frankincense or Shallaki. It is a medium-to-large deciduous tree. It belongs to the Burseraceae family. Its structural profile is defined by a light, spreading crown and slender, drooping branches. It generally grows to heights between 9 and 15 meters. The tree is botanically distinguished by its ash-colored or greenish-yellow bark. It naturally exfoliates in thin, papery flakes, and its imparipinnate leaves that form dense clusters at the branch tips. The flowering period is from January to March. It produces small, aromatic, creamy-white flowers organized in axillary racemes. Geographically, it is indigenous to the arid, rocky terrains and tropical dry deciduous forests of the Indian Subcontinent. It maintains a significant presence across the central and western states of India. Including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh. The tree is particularly well-adapted to surviving in poor, gravelly soils. It survives where other vegetation may struggle. This makes it a key component of the local forest ecosystem in these regions.
Healthcare Perspective
In Ayurveda, Boswellia serrata is commonly referred to as Shallaki. It is classified as a Rasayana (rejuvenative) botanical. It is traditionally utilized with the intent to balance the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. It is specifically associated with the management of Ama (metabolic byproducts) and Sandhigata Vata (imbalances localized in the joints). Historical classical texts mentions its traditional use. Including the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. Its traditional role in supporting joint flexibility, bone tissue health (asthi dhatu), and respiratory comfort. Beyond Ayurveda, the oleo-gum-resin of the tree has a long history of use in global traditional healthcare and cultural practices. It has been used as an aromatic incense for spiritual rituals and as a natural fumigant. In contemporary herbalism, standardized extracts of the resin are frequently utilized. It works as a complementary approach to support physiological balance. They support the joints, digestive system, and respiratory pathways.
Phytochemical Composition
The phytochemical profile of Boswellia serrata oleo-gum-resin is well-defined by a complex synergy of acidic and volatile components. Central to its composition are the boswellic acids, a group of pentacyclic triterpenes. Among these, acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid (AKBA) and 11-keto-β-boswellic acid (KBA) are key biomarkers. These compounds are known for their interaction with the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) enzyme. The resin also contains a broader matrix of organic acids. These include α-boswellic acid, β-boswellic acid. Their acetylated derivatives, which contribute to the botanical's overall chemical diversity. In addition to the acidic fractions, the resin includes a volatile essential oil portion (typically 5–10%). This aromatic fraction is rich in monoterpenes such as α-thujene, α-pinene, and limonene. Diterpenes like incensole and serratol are also found, which provide the characteristic balsamic scent. Furthermore, the water-soluble gum component consists of polysaccharides. It is primarily composed of sugars like arabinose, galactose, and xylose. These contribute to the resin's natural emulsifying properties.
