Indian frankincense, also known as Boswellia serrata, has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine for a variety of ailments, particularly those involving inflammation, such as arthritis. Its use for menopause, however, is primarily based on traditional and anecdotal evidence rather than robust scientific validation. In Ayurveda, menopause is often managed with herbs believed to balance the doshas and reduce symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and joint pain; Boswellia is sometimes included for its reputed anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. Scientific studies on Boswellia serrata primarily focus on its effects in chronic inflammatory diseases and pain management, showing promising results in reducing inflammation and improving joint health. However, clinical research specifically examining its effects on menopausal symptoms is extremely limited. There is no strong evidence to suggest that Boswellia directly alleviates core menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, or hormonal changes. Its potential benefits in menopause may be indirect, possibly offering relief for joint pain or inflammation that some menopausal women experience. In summary, the use of Indian frankincense for menopause is largely traditional, with little direct scientific support. More research is needed to determine its efficacy for menopausal symptoms specifically.
