Frankincense for dogs
Boswellia (frankincense) is a centuries-old medicinal plant that is increasingly used in animal naturopathy for the natural support of the joints. As a dietary supplement, boswellia supports your dog's normal joint function and is traditionally valued to support mobility – especially in older dogs and during increased strain.
Frankincense » A natural support for dog joints
Unfortunately, joint problems are not uncommon in dogs and can significantly impair the quality of life of the four-legged friend. One natural solution that is becoming increasingly popular is the use of frankincense. In this article, you can find out more about the positive effect of frankincense on your dog's joint health.
A centuries-old medicinal plant
Frankincense is a resinous substance extracted from the bark of the Boswellia tree. There are different varieties: Boswellia sacra (= Boswellia carterii), Boswellia papyrifera, Boswellia serrata, Boswellia frereana). The medicinal plant has been used in naturopathy for centuries to treat inflammation and pain. The anti-inflammatory properties are due to its bioactive compounds known as boswellic acids.
Boswellia and its positive effect on joint health
The anti-inflammatory properties can help to reduce joint inflammation and alleviate pain. Frankincense can be a valuable support, especially for degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis. Studies have shown that regular consumption can improve joint mobility and reduce inflammatory processes in the body.
The application for dogs
Frankincense can be administered in the form of food supplements for dogs. The dosage should always be adapted to the corresponding weight class in order to obtain the optimum dosage for the dog - as is guaranteed in our preparations. It is important to note that it does not have an immediate effect, but should be taken regularly over a longer period of time in order to develop its full effect.
